US pressured to deliver at African leaders summit

President Joe Biden is set to play host to dozens of African leaders in Washington this week. The summit will be the biggest international gathering in Washington since before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Local officials are warning residents to brace for road blocks and intensified security. Heads of states from 49 African nations and the African Union have been invited to take part in the summit that has been billed as an opportunity for President Joe Biden's administration to re-engage the continent's leaders.
