As President Joe Biden gears up to host the U.S.-Africa summit this week and speak with a select group of leaders about the 2023 elections and democracy in the continent, the US will commit $55 billion to Africa over the next three years.
National security adviser for the White House Jake Sullivan stated that the US is bringing “resources to the table” during the summit and that its investment in the African continent is superior to that of other nations.
Additionally, according to Sullivan, Biden will attend a dinner for roughly 50 African leaders on and declare U.S. Support for the African Union’s admission to the Group of 20 (G20) major economies.
Additionally, he will advocate for the appointment of an African nation’s permanent representative to the UN.
