President Biden will visit Africa next month for the first time as president, fulfilling a promise he made. The White House announced he will travel to Angola and Germany, spending October 13-15 in Luanda to discuss economic partnerships and Africa’s first transcontinental rail network. The visit highlights the evolving U.S.-Angola relationship and the U.S.’s commitment to African partners. Biden had pledged to visit Africa but initially planned to go in February after reelection. His decision not to run again cast doubt on the trip, but it is now confirmed.
