In this episode of The Wrants Show, we dive into President Joe Biden’s historic first bilateral trip to Africa during his final weeks in office. Biden’s three-day visit to Angola and a brief stop in Cape Verde marks a last-ditch effort to counter China’s influence on the continent and fulfill a long-delayed promise to engage with Africa.
We discuss the significance of the Lobito Port, a critical hub for U.S.-Angola trade relations, and its role in delivering essential minerals like cobalt and copper to the West. Why has Biden waited until now to visit Africa? And what does this trip mean for U.S.-Africa relations as his presidency comes to a close?
Tune in for a nuanced look at geopolitics, promises, and legacies on this week’s Wrants Show!
