Biden visits Africa in effort to counter Russian, Chinese influence on continent

Joe Biden has arrived in Africa, marking his first visit to the continent as president, just weeks before he vacates the Oval Office. Currently in Cape Verde, a picturesque island nation in West Africa, he is stopping for refueling and a meeting with the prime minister. Following this, he will head to Angola, a nation rich in oil and strategic resources. This tour is viewed as Washington’s effort to retain its influence amid the deepening ties that Russia and China have cultivated in the region.
