Biden's Historic Visit to Angola as US Touts Win Against China | Firstpost Africa

US President Joe Biden is on a 3-day visit to the southern African nation of Angola to counter China's expanding influence. With this visit, though Biden delivered on his promise to visit Africa during his presidency, he is facing sharp criticism. The visit comes at the tail end of his term as in a few weeks, President-elect Donald Trump will return to the White House. Some experts say Biden's Africa is too little and too late as he has picked only oil-rich Angola for his visit, over traditional allies like Kenya. The focus of Biden's visit is a major US-backed railway project that aims to divert critical minerals away from China. Will Biden's visit give America's Africa plan a new push? Will Trump reset Biden's Africa relations? Watch this video for details
