U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said on Sunday that the United States will increase investment in Africa and help spur economic growth as she began a week long tour of the continent aimed at offering a counter to the influence of rival China.

China has invested heavily in Africa in recent decades, including in infrastructure and resource development, while Russian influence has also grown, including through the deployment of troops from Russia's private military contractor Wagner Group to aid governments in several countries.

"On this trip I intend to do work that is focused on increasing investments here on the continent and facilitating economic growth and opportunity," Harris said shortly after touching down in Ghana, the first destination in a trip that will include visits to Tanzania and Zambia. The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has sought to strengthen ties with Africa, in part to offer an alternative to rival powers.$55 billion to the continent over the next three years. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced $150 million in new humanitarian aid for Africa's Sahel region during a visit to Niger this month.

Harris will be in Ghana from March 26-29, then in Tanzania from March 29-31. Her final stop is Zambia, on March 31 and April 1. She will meet with the three countries' presidents and plans to announce public- and private-sector investments.

Is she going on a safari?

US has always been the biggest problem in Afrika. For years been killing, stealing and supporting the terrorist groups in Afrika and middel east. Thats what they are and will be in the future

🤣😂🤣🙄

we have plenty that could use help at home

Of course, follow China, AFTER CRITICIZING LOL

They’re Ghana love that!!!! USA 🇺🇸 FTW!!!

China is just way ahead at this point already , they will need a solid plan to win that race .

Keep her she’s worthless !

So now the U.S. is exporting this brand of 'Stupid' to foreign nations. I await Kamala's cackling laughter as she attempts to address the many crises facing the countries she visits.

Lol..

Lol

Why no stop over in Nigeria

👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

She was there for a bit, but she's Ghana.

Africa, say hello to the Word Salad! 😂😂😂

Well come to Africa Mrs. kamala. USA should open her eyes and improve the way she looks Africa. In my opinion Africa must be seen through Ethiopia 🇪🇹. And don’t forget the head office of the African Union is in Addis Ababa.

Median age is 19? What is the average age of death there? And why is it so low? 😳

Hope the Africans are ready for word salad.

Chase her away with a sjambok.

The US knows they're late in the game so they're scrambling for natural resources knowing soon without those resources the US could scramble like an egg

Will her word salad be on the menu?

Maybe Kamala Harris is there to teach Ghanaians how to make good cornbread.

Maybe she’ll learn something from people smarter than her.

Leave her there

All this because China and Russia are doing better than them. Even at that, there help comes with a cavite of us accepting gay. We do not accept it because it's demonic and not part of our culture

Good idea. Its worked so good in the past.

Translated: Africa is full of resources we can cheat Africans out of.

looks like Kamala Laughing Hyena Harris took her bed buddy with her, sure hope taxpayers are not picking up the tab.

Leftism is a scourge and a death cult. Throw other people's money at everything.

This democrat presidential administration love to give away our tax dollars to other countries but yet want US citizens to continue working till 67 for full retirement and might move it to 70

When U.S invests it comes at a high cost. That's why China is in the lead. They don't plunder countries but offer actual win win scenarios.

Lol. When? She’s been in office over 2 years

Can you please just focus on the citizyof the United States that need help ?

🐓🍭

She was lying. How many times must Africa be told investment is coming only to be trapped in debt.? Wait till the terms & conditions are made public.

Good news for the well-connected elites within & outside of the state who use corruption to shape national policies & laws to benefit their own private interests...maintain grip on power, illegally obtain riches from the state' Bad news for the unconnected

Nonsensical tour... She should focus on the Russia-Ukraine crisis.

hot air

What state is that.

Surely this 'investment' will yield amazing results.

Is USA going to give free food like Russia, or just talk about it?

Export dollars, printed out of thin air

Odiegwu

Proxy war and regime change probably

Skip Uganda,please.

More coup d'etat?

There were new oil mine found in Africa. As I don`t see chip producing potential there, besides potato chips

Regime change disguised as investment😂😂

How about greater resources for America

Don’t take it, it’s basically neo colonialism as that aid will come with strings attached, Africa is not poor just badly managed because we have the manpower and the resources to get ourselves going

Vice president of US is luring Africa with greater investment NOW after China has invested heavily in the continent. WHY NOW?

Worst ROI ever

It's about time the West wakes up sees the light what China Russia have been doing running roughshod over African continent ripping countries of their natural resources mineral Wealth When countries don't submit they cause chaos VOTEBLUE2024🇺🇸👍🇺🇦👍

Charity begins at home -

The intent is good just hope we are not getting taken advantage of and that all that money makes it to the right place versus their leaders pockets.

US investments in Africa= we bribe your politicians, we steal your resources and leave your population to die from starvation and deceases.....

But we hope it's not on homesexual please

no one needs your 'investment'! GO HOME!

😂😂🤣🤣

Anyone believe USA promise without any bully?

'investment' lol.

Sure. Electrical yellow school buses 🚌

Great.. from madurai Tamilnadu INDIA
