Biden Announces $1 Billion Aid for African Drought Victims During Historic Angola Visit
Dec 3, 2024, 06:49 PM
President Joe Biden announced over $1 billion in new humanitarian aid for African nations affected by natural disasters, specifically targeting those displaced from their homes by historic droughts and food insecurity. The announcement was made during his visit to Angola, where he met with President João Lourenço, marking the first visit by a U.S. president to the country. Biden emphasized, "That's the right thing for the wealthiest nation in the world to do." This aid aims to support African countries in rebuilding homes and addressing humanitarian needs resulting from environmental challenges. The funding will be channeled through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Department of State to assist those affected across 31 African countries. The initiative is also seen as part of U.S. efforts to counter China's growing influence on the African continent.
