United States of America President Joe Biden has postponed his scheduled visits to Germany and Angola.
According to the State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller, Biden will remain in the US to oversee preparations and response for Hurricane Milton. "@POTUS travel to Berlin and Angola have been postponed to oversee preparations for and the response to Hurricane Milton."
Miller said Biden was scheduled to visit the two countries between October 11 and October 15, 2024.
He would be joined by the Secretary of State Antony Blinken. This would be Biden's inaugural visit to Africa as the US head of state.
But with US elections barely a month away Biden may complete his term without making a single visit to Africa.
However, last year US Vice President and Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris, as well as First Lady Jil Biden made visits to the African continent.
Among the countries visited by the US First Lady was Kenya.
