US President Joe Biden Hosts Kenyan Counterpart William Ruto in Key State Visit | Firstpost Africa

US President Joe Biden rolled out the red carpet for Kenyan counterpart William Ruto as he arrived in Washington for a three-day State visit. Ruto’s trip marks the first State visit to the US by any African leader in nearly two decades. Grabbing an opportunity for Biden to demonstrate the US commitment to Africa, Biden speaks with the Kenyan president on a wide range of topics including debt relief for the country. The visit comes amid Russia and China’s rising influence in the Africa, which experts believe, might have been America’s motivation to schedule the trip at this time. Meanwhile, the US is also expected to designate Kenya as a major non-NATO ally. If that happens, the East African country will be the first Sub-Saharan African country to receive the designation.
