President Joe Biden has extended a warm welcome to Kenyan President William Ruto at the White House for a significant three-day state visit, marking Kenya as a major non-NATO ally. This designation comes as Kenya prepares to dispatch forces to Haiti, contributing to a U.N.-led effort aimed at addressing the security crisis in the Caribbean nation.
Approximately 1,000 Kenyan police officers are poised to soon arrive in Haiti, forming part of a multinational security support mission focused on quelling gang violence. Other nations expected to reinforce Kenyan forces include the Bahamas, Barbados, Benin, Chad, and Bangladesh.
