Tomorrow @ 10 AM ET: Biden’s Africa Trip: What Are the Payoffs?
[link removed]

In his first and only visit to Africa as president, President Biden will visit Luanda, Angola in early December. He is scheduled to meet with Angolan President João Lourenço to discuss collaboration on a number of issues, including economic cooperation. Among the Biden administration’s leading initiatives in Angola is the Lobito Corridor, a collection of rail and infrastructure projects.

What place do Angola and Africa hold in the administration’s final foreign policy priorities? What are the gains from investment projects like Lobito? What should the next president prioritize as it relates to U.S. foreign and economic policy towards Africa?
