The US Vice President’s trip comes as the administration seeks to bolster its relationships with African countries, as competitors like Russia and China have made inroads in the region.
Harris is scheduled to visit Ghana, Tanzania and Zambia on a historic trip, her first visit to the continent since becoming vice president. And it will be the first time a Black US vice president visits the region, amplifying Harris’ historic role and high-profile trip. The second gentleman Doug Emhoff will join her on the trip.
