Biden's visit emphasizes a $3 billion commitment to the Lobito Corridor, reflecting a strategic U.S. focus on enhancing ties in sub-Saharan Africa and countering Chinese influence.
Biden’s itinerary includes visiting a slavery museum, symbolizing the historical ties between the U.S. and Angola, while also addressing contemporary trafficking issues.
The Lobito Corridor aims to facilitate the movement of raw materials in Africa and for export, bolstering the U.S. presence in a region rich in critical minerals.
The project carries similarities to China's Belt and Road strategy, illustrating a shift in U.S. foreign policy toward infrastructure and economic partnerships in Africa.
