Kenya is anticipated to establish a significant partnership with the United States  despite not being a member of NATO.

US President Joe Biden is set to propose that Kenya become a special friend after discussions with Kenya's President William Ruto.

This friendship entails Kenya and the US collaborating closely on security matters.

NATO, a coalition of countries collaborating on military endeavors, includes powerful nations like the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Canada.

Biden's decision will make Kenya the first sub-Saharan African country to establish this special friendship with NATO.

As a result, Kenya will receive advanced military equipment from the US and will also contribute to security operations.

Before Kenya formally joins NATO, the US is already providing Kenya's police with access to their military supplies. This assistance will support Kenyan police who are being deployed to Haiti to address ongoing challenges there.

Additionally, Kenya and the US will collaborate to promote peace in regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa, the Red Sea, and Europe.

Similar to Kenya, other countries in Africa that enjoy this special partnership with the US include Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia.

Indeed, Kenya is set to be designated as a major ally of the US and will actively contribute to security efforts in various regions across the globe.
