But without a sharp move to the left on the economic aspects of climate transition, even that much progress won't materialize.
Media reports presented Kamala Harris’s recent trip to Africa as a historic departure for US policy toward the continent. Beneath the hype, however, the Biden administration is carrying on with the same militarized, self-serving approach as its predecessors.
