During his historic visit to Angola, President Biden acknowledged the U.S.'s past with slavery while announcing a $3 billion investment in the Lobito Corridor railway. Biden, who has a long-standing affinity for trains, emphasized the corridor's importance in facilitating trade and investment in a resource-rich region. The project, involving significant collaboration with international allies, is seen as a strategic move to counter China's influence in Africa.
