The Lobito Corridor is a 1,300-kilometer rail line stretching from copper-rich Zambia to the port of Lobito in the southwest nation of Angola .

The network will form a “strategic economic corridor” under the Biden administration’s Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment initiative.

The Biden administration says it has committed nearly $4 billion towards the project.

Analysts say the project may be well received for President-elect Trump , as it suits his more transactional approach to the continent.

“Continuing the Lobito project is a smart idea Trump does not have to own it except in the sense that it gives him a talking point about our strategic/resource-driven interests in Africa , particularly as a strategy to acquire minerals essential for Elon’s Teslas , as it were.” Paris Huang contributed to this report..
