The visit will affirm the US strategic partnership with Kenya and further the vision set forth at the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit: African leadership is essential to addressing global priorities.
President William Ruto is scheduled to be in Washington, US, on May 23, 2024 on an official State visit where he will be hosted by US President Joe Biden, the first such visit to the White House by an African leader since 2008.
According to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, the visit by the Head of State is expected to focus on strengthening bilateral ties between both countries.
