American president, Joe Biden, has announced that he planned to visit sub-Saharan Africa, in what will be the first trip by a US president since 2015.
He said;
“We’re all going to be seeing you and you’re going to see a lot of us,” Biden told the nearly 50 African leaders as he attended the third day of a US-Africa summit in the US capital.
The visit would be Biden’s first to sub-Saharan Africa since he became president. It would even be almost his first formal visit to the continent, barring a quick stop in November in Egypt.
Biden has focused his foreign visits in the two years he’s been president on Asia and Europe, as he sought to bolster Indo-Pacific ties and coordinate western unification against Russia, and less urgently also China.
