Kenya faces potential significant losses if the United States revokes its Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA) status, following a congressional review initiated by US Senator James Risch. This status was granted during President Joe Biden's administration in May 2024, rewarding Kenya's counterterrorism efforts and support for Western nations.

• Review initiated by US Senator James Risch through an August congressional amendment.
• Key areas of review include Kenya's military and security engagements with countries like China, Russia, and Iran, alongside its role in counter-extremism and peacekeeping.
• Potential repercussions include losing eligibility for cooperative research loans, training agreements, priority delivery of surplus equipment, and the ability to bid on US Department of Defense maintenance contracts.
