Biden committed $1 billion in aid to rebuild infrastructure in African nations

Biden pledges $1 billion in disaster aid to Africa while North Carolina struggles post-hurricane

President Joe Biden announced a $1 billion investment in Africa during his visit to Angola on Tuesday, pledging support for rebuilding homes and infrastructure in nations affected by natural disasters.

The announcement highlights a troubling disconnect, as residents in Western North Carolina continue grappling with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene without sufficient federal assistance.

Key Details:

1. While attending a summit in Angola, Biden committed $1 billion to help African nations recover from natural disasters. The funding is framed as part of his administration’s push to strengthen U.S.-Africa relations and enhance global disaster resilience.
2. Hurricane Helene caused over $53 billion in damages in Western North Carolina, displacing thousands and leaving critical infrastructure in disrepair. Recovery has been slow, with Asheville residents only recently regaining access to reliable clean water and rebuilding efforts still ongoing.
3. Biden’s announcement has drawn attention to what some call a misalignment of priorities, as many in North Carolina struggle with unmet recovery needs. The administration’s decision to allocate significant funds abroad has led to calls for more focus on domestic disaster relief.

Biden shouldn't be flying (he should be tied to a chair) anywhere and committing money to another continent for their infrastructure when our debt is 33 TRILLION DOLLARS and rising by 1 TRILLION every 100 days.
