Yellen’s trip was part of the Biden administration’s efforts to strengthen economic ties between the U.S. and Africa. Yellen’s visit was focused on economic development and investment, with a particular emphasis on spurring job creation.
Janet Yellen, the United States Secretary of the Treasury, recently visited Africa, the first of such visits by a U.S. Treasury Secretary in over a decade.
Yellen’s visit to Africa is an encouraging sign that the Biden administration is committed to strengthening economic ties with the continent, and some of her statements during her trip so far have been indicative of this fact.
