'Amtrak Joe' Biden uses his visit to Angola to promote a major African rail project

SeattlePI.com Wednesday, 4 December 2024 ()
President Joe Biden is finding ways to celebrate trains in the waning days of his presidency thousands of miles from home. Biden is using his final day in Angola to tout the Lobito Corridor railway, where the U.S. and key allies are investing heavily to refurbish 800 miles of train lines in Zambia, Congo and Angola. On Wednesday, Biden will fly from the capital of Luanda to Lobito on Africa’s western coast. There, the politician nicknamed Amtrak Joe will tour port facilities with Angolan President João Lourenço, Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema, Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi and Tanzanian vice president Philip Mpango.
