U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will start her trip to Africa on Friday, stopping in Senegal, Zambia and South Africa. Yellen’s trip comes after China's Foreign Minister Qin Gang five-country tour of Africa last week. President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo will also travel to Africa this year, as will Yellen's deputy, Wally Adeyemo. Ebenezer Obadare, a Douglas Dillon senior fellow for Africa studies at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), tells International Edition host Yeheyes Wuhib that the frequent visits of high-profile figures this year signals that the U.S. is ready to focus on its Africa relations.
