President Joe Biden has announced $600 million in new financing for a multi-country railway during his visit to Angola, aimed at enhancing U.S. investment in Africa's critical minerals infrastructure and countering Chinese influence. This funding builds on a previous commitment of $553 million for the Lobito Trans-Africa Corridor, which connects the Central African copperbelt to the Angolan coast. The investments will also support agriculture, clean energy, health, and digital access in the region.
