Jill Biden will visit Namibia and Kenya this week as part of a push by the United States to step up engagement with Africa as a counterweight to China's influence on the continent, the White House announced Tuesday.
President Joe Biden told African leaders who came to Washington for a summit last year that the U.S. is “all in” on the continent's future. He also announced that he, his wife, the vice president and several members of his Cabinet would travel to Africa this year, and joked that the leaders would get tired of hosting everyone.
