"Obama Joins Biden in Honoring Kenya's Ruto at State Dinner"
TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden has pledged to designate Kenya as a major non-NATO ally, making it the first sub-Saharan African country to receive this status. This designation, announced during Kenyan President William Ruto's visit to the US, signifies a deep strategic partnership but does not include mutual defense commitments. It allows Kenya to access certain economic and military benefits, including the purchase of advanced military technologies. The visit also saw agreements on AI dialogue, Somali counterterrorism, a ceasefire in Sudan, and a new climate and clean energy partnership.
