US President Joe Biden visits Angola in bid to rival China | BBC News
US President Joe Biden has made his first and only visit to sub-Saharan Africa during his presidency, where he will highlight a US-backed railway project meant to counter China’s influence on the continent.
Biden’s three-day visit to oil-rich Angola will focus largely on the Lobito Corridor railway redevelopment which aims to advance the US presence in a region rich in the minerals used to make batteries for electric vehicles.
The railway line will stretch for 1,344km (835 miles) from the mines of Democratic Republic of Congo to the Angolan port city of Lobito on the Atlantic Ocean.
Analysts view the Biden’s trip as the most direct counter yet to China’s influence on the continent.

It appears a person shot at Secret Service agents unsuccessfully, and the agents returned fire, the sources say.

Negotiators for the US and Iran have agreed a framework of a deal that would extend their ceasefire for 60 days and launch negotiations on the future of Iran’s nuclear programme, US sources say.
The agreement comes amid continued strikes and accusations of ceasefire violations, with tensions still high across the region.
Talks are also said to include potential changes to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy route.

More than three months after the US and Israel first began their war with Iran, Washington and Tehran have reached an initial agreement to bring about a more long-term end to hostilities.
US President Donald Trump has said it paves the way for what he called the “toll-free” opening of the Strait of Hormuz. He called on ships to start their engines and “let the oil flow”.
The full text of the deal has not yet been released. Pakistani mediators say the agreement will be officially signed in Switzerland on Friday 19 June.
Our US State Department correspondent Tom Bateman tells us that President Trump and Iranian officials are already giving different accounts of what’s been agreed.
