Kenyan Police Deployed to Stabilize Haiti Amid Escalating Gang Violence

President Joe Biden thanked Kenyan President William Ruto for deploying Kenyan police to help address gang violence in Haiti, while defending his decision to keep U.S. forces out of the mission. The U.S. will contribute $300 million to the multinational force, which includes 1,000 Kenyan officers. Ruto's decision faces legal challenges in Kenya, but he emphasized the global responsibility for peace and security. Biden and Ruto also called for international action to reduce debt burdens on developing nations, highlighting Kenya's significant debt to China. Biden announced plans to designate Kenya as a major non-NATO ally, reflecting the growing security partnership between the two countries.
