Joe Biden announced $1 billion in humanitarian aid for “Africans displaced from homes by historic droughts and food insecurity.”
“We know African leaders are seeking more than just aid. You seek investment. So, the United States is expanding our relationship all across Africa from assistance to aid, investment to trade, moving from patrons to partners to help bridge the infrastructure gap,” he continued.

“President Joe Biden announces over one billion in aid to Africa for those displaced by droughts. Meanwhile, Western North Carolina is still worse off than a war zone, people are sleeping in tents, and there is literally no hope in sight from the government,” The Appalachian Podcast wrote.
“If you’re not pissed off to a point you’ve never found yourself, you’re not pissed enough. This is beyond disgusting, it is a giant smack in the face to Americans everywhere, especially Appalachian Americans,” it added.

Per Fox News:
Biden’s visit to Angola this week marks the first time the president has stepped foot on African soil during his presidency, and it comes as people in North Carolina continue to face challenges after Hurricane Helene caused destruction and devastation in late September.
Last month, the White House requested $98 billion in additional disaster relief funding to help efforts in Helene-ravished areas.
Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle have pledged to act swiftly once they get a formal request from the Biden administration.
On top of that, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell told reporters last month that her agency “will need additional funding of approximately $40 billion beyond its 2025 budget request to support the ongoing recovery efforts to these storms and meet our overall mission requirements through the end of the fiscal year.”
Still, until these funds are in place, some continue to slam Biden’s legacy of putting foreign countries before his own, which was seen Tuesday as a video of Biden making the $1 billion announcement in Africa made the rounds on social media.
