Biden Honors Kenya as the East African Nation Prepares to Send Forces to Haiti

At first I read Kanye instead of Kenya and I was really confused.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

President Biden suggested on Thursday that the decision to have Kenya lead a security mission in Haiti, without troops from the United States on the ground, was meant to avoid the fraught history of American intervention in the deeply troubled country.

“We concluded that for the United States to deploy forces in the hemisphere just raises all kinds of questions that can be easily misrepresented by what we’re trying to do,” he said during a news conference at the White House with President William Ruto of Kenya.

The comments about the mission to Haiti came as Mr. Biden said he would designate Kenya as a “major non-NATO ally,” a move that reflects the president’s determination to deepen relations with the East African nation even as other countries — including Russia and China — are racing to do the same.

The diplomatic move, and the daylong celebration of the six-decade U.S.-Kenyan relationship, is meant to underscore Mr. Biden’s commitment to Africa, even after he failed to make good on a promise to travel personally to the continent by the end of this year.

Jake Sullivan, the president’s national security adviser, told reporters on Wednesday that Mr. Biden did not shy away from criticizing countries for their human rights or civil society records.

Mr. Ruto’s day at the White House marked the first state visit of an African leader since 2008 and was designed to be full of both official meetings and the glittery pomp that presidents reserve for the closest of allies.
