President Joe Biden has announced over $1 billion in humanitarian aid to support Africans displaced by historic droughts and food insecurity.
The pledge, made during Biden's visit to Angola, marks the first time a sitting U.S. president has visited the country, emphasizing America’s commitment to supporting Africa’s development on its own terms.
Speaking at Angola’s National Slavery Museum, Biden highlighted the U.S. role as the world’s largest provider of humanitarian aid, while praising Angola’s leadership in regional conflict mediation and its stance against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
During the visit, Biden also showcased the U.S.-backed Lobito Corridor project, a transcontinental railway initiative aimed at boosting trade and economic growth across Angola, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The historic visit signals a strengthening of U.S.-Africa relations focused on economic development and humanitarian support.
