US Vice President Harris leads pushback against China's influence in Africa

Vice President Harris is set to visit Ghana, Tanzania, and Zambia to deepen the Biden administration's outreach and counter Chinese influence in Africa. Harris plans to meet with African leaders and discuss issues related to democracy, technology, economic growth, food security, and Russia's war in Ukraine. The visit is part of President Biden's commitment to go "all-in on Africa," and follows visits by other top U.S. officials to the continent. White House officials insist the visits are more about forming connections than countering the influence of other nations.
