Biden's Strategic Africa Visit: Balancing Promises and China's Influence

President Joe Biden has embarked on his first visit to Africa, arriving in Angola as part of a trip that underscores U.S. efforts to counter China's economic influence on the continent. This visit, fulfilling a promise made at the Africa leaders summit, comes amid criticism of Biden's Africa policy and his recent controversial pardon of his son. In Angola, Biden is expected to announce trade investments and highlight the U.S.-backed Lobito Corridor rail project, aimed at facilitating mineral exports. The trip also reflects on historical ties, with a visit to the National Slavery Museum.
