In this episode, we explore President Joe Biden’s historic visit to Angola, his first and only trip to Africa during his presidency. As the first U.S. president to step foot in Angola, Biden brings an agenda aimed at strengthening economic ties and countering China’s growing influence in the region. At the centre of his efforts is the multibillion-dollar Lobito Corridor project, a revitalisation of a century-old railway linking the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia to Angola’s Atlantic port. But as the U.S. prepares to transition to Donald Trump’s presidency, uncertainty lingers over the future of Biden’s Africa focused initiatives. Will Trump’s administration continue this engagement, or will it mark a departure in U.S- Africa relations? Africa Daily's Alan Kasujja spoke to Angolan political analyst Claudio De Silva and Yinka Adegoke - the Africa Editor for the news platform Semafor.
