US President Visits Angola Amid Concerns Over China's Growing Influence in the Region

President Joe Biden is scheduled to visit two African countries, Cape Verde and Angola, as part of a two-day trip. The focus of the visit is an 800-mile railway project in Angola, which represents the largest-ever American investment in African infrastructure. The visit to Angola had originally been planned for mid-October but was postponed due to a hurricane in Florida. Biden is expected to highlight the historical bond between the US and Angola that originated from the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Military, political, and economic agreements are set to be signed during the visit.
