During her visit with Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris commended his commitment to democratic principles. Despite rising discontent over inflation and regional security concerns, Harris began her weeklong trip to Africa, which includes stops in Tanzania and Zambia. 

This visit is part of a broader U.S. effort to expand outreach to Africa amid the growing interests of China and Russia in the region. At the Jubilee House, the Ghanaian presidential palace, Harris pledged to provide security assistance and increased investments in the nation, announcing $100 million in U.S. aid to the region.
