The U.S. is excited about the potential the Lobito Corridor offers.

Here’s how we’re partnering with Angolan communities ⬇️

I am inspired by the resiliency of the Armenian people and all they have built, but we can never forget. Honored to have paid my respects last year:

Angola has made big strides in fighting corruption in recent years and the country’s civil society has been critical to this progress. I joined a discussion with civil society leaders on how we build on this work to advance democratic governance and inclusive growth in 🇦🇴.

Productive conversation with Angolan President João Lourenço. Thanks to his and President Biden’s leadership, the U.S.-Angolan relationship has never been stronger. We discussed how to seize this transformative moment so that greater economic investment in Angola benefits its citizens.

The National Security Supplemental that has now passed in both the House and the Senate with overwhelming majorities sends a clear signal of American leadership and will be the difference between life and death for millions of people around the world.

Chag Sameach to Jewish communities around the world who begin celebrating Passover tonight. I hope your Seders are filled with hope and love, even in hard times.

Without USAID’s local staff, our work would not be possible.
