Biden’s Africa Trip to Focus on U.S.-Backed Railway Project

U.S President Joseph Biden embarks on a trip to Angola, fulfilling a promise to visit Africa during his presidency. Reuters says his visit will highlight a major U.S.-backed railway project aimed at diverting critical minerals away from China. The project, partially funded by a U.S. loan, connects the resource-rich Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia to Angola’s Lobito port, providing a faster route for exports to the West.
