Biden in Angola: What's behind the last-ditch Africa trip?

"The anticipated trip to Angola represents a final, desperate attempt to fulfill a promise Biden made long ago, and counter China's expanding influence on Africa."
"Biden's failure to visit any African country except Egypt for COP27 until now shows that his administration has not prioritised the continent."
"Biden first promised to visit Africa at a US-Africa leaders summit, noting at the time that 'the US is all in on Africa and all in with Africa.'"
"Presidential trips to Africa are rare enough that they always matter, signaling a shift in foreign policy and recognition of Africa's strategic importance."
