LUANDA, Angola—On his final day in Angola, President Joe Biden traveled to the coastal town of Catumbela on Dec. 4 to visit a port terminal, a key site for his signature infrastructure project aimed at securing U.S. access to Africa’s rich mineral resources.

During the visit, Biden toured the Lobito port terminal and held meetings to review the progress made in the multi-billion-dollar railway infrastructure project, which is expected to play a significant role in shaping his legacy on the continent.
