LUANDA, Angola (AP) — President Joe Biden on Tuesday toured a slavery museum in Angola and inspected shackles and a whip, and he spoke of “our nation’s original sin.” But he also addressed Africa’s future, saying Africans will make up one in four people by 2050 and the world’s fate rests with them. Biden’s visit is the first to Angola by a U.S. president. It’s meant to promote billions of dollars of commitments to the sub-Saharan African nation for what Biden called the largest ever U.S. rail investment overseas. The U.S. is trying to counter China, which has strong influence on the continent of over 1.4 billion people.
