The historic first trip by a US president to the sub-Saharan African nation aims to spotlight a 2.8 billion euro US-backed railway project, designed to counter China’s influence on the continent, including its Belt and Road Initiative.
In a controversial moment during his trip to Angola, President Joe Biden dodged questions from reporters regarding his recent decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden. The pardon, covering Hunter’s actions over the past 11 years, has sparked significant political backlash, particularly from critics who point out the contradiction with Biden’s previous statements. Despite earlier promises not to intervene in Hunter's legal matters, Biden reversed his stance and granted the pardon. As reporters attempted to raise the issue during a meeting with Angolan President João Lourenço, Biden laughed off their questions, turning to the Angolan delegation and quipping, "Welcome to America." His refusal to address the matter has further fueled the controversy, casting a shadow over his final days in office.

In a bold move before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, the Biden administration has announced $725 million in military aid to Ukraine, continuing U.S. support amid the ongoing conflict. But the big question remains: will President Trump maintain this aid once he’s in power, or will he follow through on his past promises to cut U.S. financial assistance to Ukraine? In this video, we explore the implications of Biden's last-minute aid package, what it means for U.S.-Ukraine relations, and what to expect from Trump’s foreign policy on Ukraine.
