Joe Biden visits Angola to strengthen U.S. ties before leaving office

dw.com — November 29, 2024, 05:01 PM UTC

U.S. President Joe Biden is visiting Angola next week, marking his first trip to Africa and one of his final international engagements before leaving office. This visit follows a postponed trip in October due to Hurricane Milton. Biden's agenda includes signing military, political, and economic agreements to strengthen U.S.-Angola ties. Key projects include the Lobito Corridor, a rail link aimed at connecting central Africa to the Atlantic, and an oil refinery in Soyo. The visit highlights Angola's strategic importance amid U.S.-China competition for resources in Africa. While the trip is seen as significant, experts note that it may not lead to immediate improvements for the broader Angolan population.
