Analyzing President Biden's Visit to Angola
Associate Professor Stig Jensen has recently analyzed President Biden's visit to Angola from December 2-4, 2024, in articles published on pov.international and Altinget.
The visit is seen as the culmination of improved relations between the USA and Angola, with a particular emphasis on the opening of the Lobito Corridor, a significant railway project financed by the G7 countries. Furthermore, the articles explores how the USA aims to strengthen its presence in Africa and challenge China's influence, particularly through infrastructure investments. The visit can be seen as a success for both Biden and Angola's President Lourenço, but also points out the potential challenges Angola may face under a Trump administration.
