Kenyan President William Ruto meets President Joe Biden at the White House on Wednesday for the first state visit by an African leader in 15 years -- and at a time when the US faces geopolitical headwinds across the continent.
Biden will greet his Kenyan counterpart and join him in a meeting with business leaders ahead of Thursday's formal portion of the visit, which will start with an honor guard and culminate in a lavish dinner.
It's the first state visit by an African leader since 2008.
