JD Vance's Strategic Visit: Strengthening US-Kenya Ties Amid China Concerns

U.S. Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to visit Kenya from November 24 to 27, following his participation in the G20 summit in Johannesburg, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.

Kenya, a major non-NATO ally for the U.S., is keen on finalizing a trade deal with Washington amid its growing ties with China, which has drawn criticism from some U.S. officials. Details on Vance's agenda in Kenya are yet to be released, and there has been no immediate comment from his office or Kenya's foreign ministry.

President Donald Trump has delegated Vance to attend the G20 summit, where the U.S. will assume the rotating presidency from South Africa. The visit is seen as a strategic move to reaffirm U.S.-Kenya relations, a cornerstone of Washington's African policy.
