US to designate Kenya key non-NATO ally

Kenyan President William Ruto visited the White House Wednesday, the first day of his three-day state visit. Reuters quotes a source as saying that President Joe Biden is expected to designate Kenya as a major non-NATO ally during Ruto’s visit. Johnnie Carson served as United States ambassador to several African countries, including Kenya. He tells VOA’s James Butty, Ruto’s visit symbolizes the strong connection between the United States and Kenya.
