- The White House has thrown one of its biggest-ever state dinners - to honor the Kenyan president, William Ruto, who is on a state visit to the US. President Joe Biden hopes to further US interests - and counter growing Russian and Chinese influence in Kenya. Ruto's three-day trip to Washington is the first state visit to the United States by an African leader in more than 15 years.

As a Kenyan, people don't understand this man. Tomorrow he'll visit Russia and close a deal. It's all about progress.
Kenya has always been an ally of the US since independence!A major trading partner,dependable ally in security...etc
As for Russia- a Big NO.The President shouldn't step there.
Yeah what is the problem with that? kenya advances kenyan interests and african interests not eastern or western

KENYA'S INTEREST is in resolving a midterm strategic solution to it's ever increasing Sovereign Debt--so, kenyans can anticipate their parliament formally approving another and this time exclusive a US FOREIGN SOVEREIGN MILITARY BASE an upgrade to the adhoc bilateral agreement contract base...
Bro, 1st State african visit in 16 years, and you wonder why China had the upper hand 🤔🤔🤔 Seriously!!!
my reaction too
The big problem is that the US refused to support any infrastructure projects in Africa. They engage only on social issues like gender equality, lgbtq, conservation.
But former Nigerian president(Buhari) was there under Obama government.
@@francisezeani166 That was an official working visit. The last State visit to an African was in 2008 by former Ghana President Kufoor
Exactly 💯
As a Kenyan,Ruto is talking on his behalf,us Kenyans we have different views
Thankyou
Azimio people u never see anything good apart from your poverty leaders who always give you hope for promise land which they can't take you , thanks our president
say you alone have a different view..dont speak for us
He is talking as the President of Kenya.
@@ambaluwangaSo you are glad that a puppet is representing you guys? Wow

Right , unfortunately your police are going to start coming back in body bags from Haiti soon .It is so much of a price to pay for a photo op with Biden.

As an American I love Kenya ❤
Just remember what Madeline Albright once said " America has no friends but interests "
Being an American friend is fatal......death is always a factor when the US extends goodies to you
As opposed to prosperous friends by China and Russia: Belarus, Serbia, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, and Cambodia?
@phoenix5054yeh! you forgot Vietnam however, "democracy" in the US's version only works and brings prosperity when you are militarily occupied; UK, Germany, Italy, Turkey, South Korea, Japan etc etc.....???
Kenya is already military occupied by the US, even by it's little poodle cousin the UK, so who's in control really in Kenya. I have more to say, specifically about the abnormally, that is the Kenyan military budget....
We are not blind we saw What happened in berarus recently

When China goes to Africa they talk about infrastructure projects and development
When the US goes to Africa they talk about China
When China goes to Africa they want to indebt every nation so that China can take over like a mob boss. When America goes they support local rule and personal freedoms. There, I fixed your comment
Keep digging that debt trap and in a few years China will own everything of importance in Africa. 😂
China taks about strip mining and product dumping, and projects for chinese construction companies
@@icu17siberiaChina did in 10 years
10times more in Africa in terms of deveploment and Infrastructure, than Us and Europe combined in the last 60 years.
You're talking about the US. Guess china goes there to talk about the US
Kenya is fairly democratic in the region. A beacon of hope
Being democratic doesn't mean anything in Africa, Rwanda is a 1 party state and is doing better than most African countries.
But with a poor economy in decline.
Do Kenyan people really want to be a NATO ally? That is the question.
@@geoms6263 When did Kenyans agreed to being NATO ally?
Bro am Kenyan and trust me this is stupidity, Kenya should be neutral....
Kenyans want their economy to grow and develop so as to create jobs and enable them to afford services and infrastructure without borrowing. We are drowning in debt, and that has made life very difficult. If the elevated relationship with the US will bring Western investments that will create jobs, then that's what Kenyans want. We are currently exporting unemployed young Kenyans to work abroad, including to barbaric places in the middle east where they get treated like slaves.
@@michaelb4290 How does being a NATO ally correlate with increased investment in Kenya? NATO is known for its involvement in unprovoked conflicts, like in Libya where they intervened to exploit oil and gold. What specific role will Kenya take on as a NATO ally?
@@michaelb4290 The problem is that he is overtaxing impoverished Kenyans and frequently traveling abroad, costing taxpayers millions, while his friends collect millions in travel allowances. Do you think Kenyans lack interest in investing?
Good deal, more action please. Better for free Africans to run Africa than dictators and 3rd parties. Good for Kenya to have strong allies and an independent voice with the USA. Smart if they stay both somewhat unaligned and democratic.
7:57 This time we mean it. 😂
OMG! am sure many didn't even reach that far. They know this is another joke just for show. 😂😂
This is Huge, Speaking 🗣️ volumes.
This is all about selfish interests of countering china and Russia, not the spirit of the helping
You would think Russia and China are not looking out for their own selfish motives? 😂😂😂
So what? Works out fine for Japan and Taiwan and South Korea and Europe. But what about Russia's allies? Ask Ukrainians and Georgians and Armenians how that worked out. You can't have no allies, and US allies do well, better than Russian and Chinese and Iranian ones.
Rely on China and Russia. 😂
Wow that's awesome,I will visit Kenya to see how it looks like
You're most welcome!
It's a fantastic place, visit and see for yourself.
Karibu Kenya 🇰🇪
As a patriotic Kenyan i fully support it 100%
Kenya will be a 🇺🇸 puppet state.
After 20 years of close cooperation with China which have transformed Kenya, the country has unfortunately turned t the declining Eest. I weep for my country.
China has not transformed Kenya it has led us into debt and taken advantage of african nations
Every time Americans want to be close to you,they know what they want from you
@@DG-ie5ipur words just proof what he said
So what? Do you think there are countries that give freebies?
No problem if kenya knows what it wants too. The development of kenya came from them knowing what they wanted during cold war.
@@patriciamuenimulwa1808 You mean what our Colonizers wanted.
Not really if you have been reading about the trade war lately. Western countries actually want to give you jobs because labor is less expensive in developing countries. Western companies are now leaving China due to the tensions in south china sea and Taiwan. Factories are now moving away from China to Vietnam, Philippines, Bangladesh, India, and Mexico. Kenya could get some of that opportunity now that they are an MNNA.
Democracy is vital. It's imperative that Africa rejects autocracy!
I wish that African countries build themselves up and not wait for other countries investment to do that for them!
You must sell something to gain money for development, kenya is just opening new markets but everyone is seeing what fits their thinking
FDI is a quick way to get rich just ask Singapore and Malaysia
China rise also shows the importance of FDI. Self reliance is a bogus idea. China had been trying to become self reliant during Mao's era yet it didn't work. It is when Deng Xiaoping open up China to the world. That's when investment from western countries start flooding China. However, this relationship between the west and china turn sour because of Taiwan and South China Sea dispute. also the issue of stealing western technologies.
It's hard when even owning industry is hard....who can compete with China right now...even detroit is complaining about Chinese cars

Hmmmmm, something is being conjured here.
I would like to see how much money the United States can spend to support Africa's development.🤣🤣🤣
We’ve spent billions …. For decades .
@@AverageJoe483Kenya for example receives very little aid and FDI from the US. I think last year it was $250-500M in FDI. it has ranged around that for 30 odd years.

Kenyan President William Ruto met with US President Joe Biden in the Oval Office where they spoke about Kenya joining a list of non-NATO US allies.
In a joint press briefing, Biden highlighted the 60 years of partnership between the US and Kenya.
"I'm proud to announce we're working with Congress to designate Kenya a major non-NATO ally," Biden said, adding that it was a fulfillment of years of collaboration in joint counter-terrorism operations.
It is with great appreciation on my part that I hope that the American private sector can invest more in our African continent.
Attentively!
Mr. Luís Van-Dúnem.
Do you understand the difference between being a NATO ally and being a US ally? I'm sure you didn't fully grasp the question.

Kenya will be the next African super power.

3000 jobs😂
Yeah, Kenya will all of a sudden become an African superpower despite not even having one of the continent's top militaries😂 There are no 'superpowers' in Africa but those that could be considered the too dogs are Egypt, South Africa, Algeria and Nigeria. Kenya isn't even the strongest in its own region both economically and militarily. Kenya is just another western puppet😃

Hidden card by USA kitatulamba😂😮
I haven’t seen one democratic country that is friends with china or russia
Kagege wewe
And that marks a beginning of American influence in the region
If it brings Western investments that will create jobs and narrow the gap between import and export earnings, then it's not bad. Policies that lead to jobs creation in Kenya are definitely better than exporting unemployed Kenyans abroad including to barbaric middle east where they get treated like animals.
not as influential as China perhaps. Hopefully, China will educate Africans in Chinese universities too
@@michaelb4290 Kenya has resources, it does not need any ally
Do you know how much money they invested and gave as aid in Kenya haahah
