U.S. President Joe Biden has embarked on a significant trip to Africa, aiming to bolster U.S. influence on the continent amidst growing competition with China.

Biden's agenda includes discussions on infrastructure development, trade, and investment opportunities, as well as tackling climate change and health security.
