Kenya's President has become the first African leader in more than 15 years to make an official state visit to the United States.
On a three-day trip to Washington, William Ruto is holding bilateral talks with US President Joe Biden and Congressional leaders.
It's the sixth state visit hosted by the Biden administration — the first for an African President since 2008.
It comes amid an American effort to appeal to African nations, as its rivals China and Russia reinforce their statuses as major players on the continent.
