Jan. 11, 2026 – 01:54 – TheGrio was on hand at the U.S. Kenyan press conference, asking both President Biden and the President of Kenya questions on the issues of Haiti and the Congo. Overall the press conference dealt with issues of a 60-year cooperative relationship between both countries. One of the major tangibles that came out of the bilateral meetings with both presidents was that Kenya is designated a major non-NATO country. Kenya has dealt with issues of national security on the continent as it has helped fight ISIS, as well as other terrorist groups like El Shabab.
