William Ruto's invitation to the White House marks the first state visit to the United States by an African leader in more than 15 years.
President Biden on Thursday praised Kenya's William Ruto for “his bold leadership” as the White House marked the first state visit to the United States by an African leader in more than 15 years, one that comes as the Nairobi government is sending police to Haiti to help quell gang violence in the Caribbean nation.
