Zambian leader Hakainde Hichilema is basking in the glow of his historic win in last month's election during his first visit to the United States as president.
On Thursday, he became the first Zambian president to visit the White House since 1992, a rare honor that world leaders covet.
His defeat of President Edgar Lungu was "democracy in action," his host Vice President Kamala Harris said, while sharing memories of her visit to Lusaka when she was 5 years old.
