Kenyan President William Ruto met with former President Barack Obama Thursday on the sidelines of his official state visit with President Joe Biden.
Earlier in the day, Ruto held a “two-and-two” press conference with Biden where the two leaders pledged to continue to back the Multinational Security Support mission to support Haiti.
“You guys never keep the deal, but that’s OK,” the president responded, though he eventually answered the question later in the press conference. “We concluded that for the United States to deploy forces in the Western Hemisphere just raises all kinds of questions that can be easily misrepresented,” Biden said Thursday when asked to defend that decision. “And so I’m very grateful for President Ruto’s leadership here.”
