President Joe Biden is set to depart for Angola on Sunday night, fulfilling a two-year promise to visit Africa. The trip aims to highlight US investment in the continent under his administration amidst China's increasing presence in the region.
Biden's three-day visit to oil-rich Angola comes as he nears the end of his presidency, preparing to hand over power to President-elect Donald Trump in January. This visit provides Biden with an opportunity to strengthen relations with a key US partner in Africa, especially in light of previous disparaging comments made by Trump about African countries.
