US expected to designate Kenya as major non-Nato ally, source says
Kenya's President William Ruto poses for a picture with US President Joe Biden at the South Portico of the White House in Washington DC, US on May 22, 2024.
US President Joe Biden is expected to designate Kenya as a major non-North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) ally during a three-day state visit by Kenyan President William Ruto this week, a source familiar with the plans said.
Kenya would be the first Sub-Saharan African country to receive the designation, reflecting Washington's drive to deepen relations with the nation, which has long also had close relations with Russia and China.
