VP Harris champions democracy and trade during Africa visit

Vice President Kamala Harris visited Tanzania to encourage the country's progress towards a more inclusive government and strengthen democracy in Africa. Harris announced $560 million in U.S. assistance for Tanzania, some of which will require congressional approval, to expand the countries' trade relationship and encourage democratic governance. Harris also highlighted women's issues in Africa and visited a memorial to the U.S. Embassy bombing in Tanzania in 1998. She will conclude her weeklong trip with a stop in Zambia, another country striving to strengthen its democracy.
