Biden would be the first US president to visit the oil- and resource-rich country
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden is planning a trip to Angola in coming weeks, fulfilling an earlier promise that would make him the first US head of state to visit sub-Saharan Africa since Barack Obama in 2015, three sources familiar with the plans said.
The Democratic president hosted Angolan President Joao Lourenco at the White House last November and raised the prospect of a visit during their Oval Office meeting. In May, he said he planned to make an official visit to Africa in February if he won the US presidential election. Keen to counter China's massive investments in Africa, the US has been supporting a project that links resource-rich Democratic Republic of Congo to Angola's Lobito port by rail to bypass road congestion on the copper and cobalt route.
