Biden to announce millions in African Lobito corridor funding

US President Joe Biden is expected to announce on Wednesday an additional $600 million in financing for projects along the Lobito rail corridor during his trip to Angola, according to a senior administration official.

The funding for solar, critical minerals and telecommunications projects along the corridor comes during Biden’s first visit as president to Sub-Saharan Africa and the first by any US president to Angola.
