US designates Kenya as its first non-NATO ally in sub-Saharan Africa.
Washington rolled out the red carpet for Kenyan President William Ruto this week.
The two countries are marking 60 years of diplomatic relations.
The visit is also important for broader United States-Africa relations.
Washington appears to be playing catch-up on the continent.
China has invested heavily in infrastructure in numerous African countries, and Russia has increased its military presence in West Africa after a series of coups in recent years.
So can Washington fulfil its new promises? And how could African countries benefit?
