President William Ruto, First Lady Rachel Ruto are received by US First Lady Jill Biden at the Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, Washington, D.C , in the United States of America. This is the second phase of the U.S. State Visit after Atlanta where the President pitched camp for two days marketing Kenya as a top investment destination in Africa.
In 2022, he made a total of 9 international trips with his maiden visit as Kenyan President being to the United Kingdom.
He proceeded to the US for the United Nations General Assembly meeting immediately.
He made his first official visit to Tanzania in October 2022 and proceeded to Uganda.
His foreign travels have been a subject of numerous debates, but President William Ruto has defended his travels fiercely and is seemingly not letting the noise get to him if his recent trips are anything to go by.
This week, he is expected to travel for the G7 Summit in Italy, days after arriving from a four-day visit to South Korea, and a week after a historic State visit in the United States.
