President William Ruto met with United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio to discuss security, particularly the situation in Haiti, hours after Ruto delivered a critique of global decision-making at the UNGA.

• Both leaders urged urgent UN action to establish a Gang Suppression Force and a UN Support Office for Haiti.
• The meeting also reviewed opportunities for U.S. investment in Kenya’s key sectors.
• Rubio lauded Kenya’s contributions to Haiti’s security, as confirmed by Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott.
• Ruto had previously criticized the international community for inadequate support for Kenya’s Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti, highlighting logistical challenges and the provision of "second-hand vehicles."
• The United States is reportedly pushing to double foreign forces to over 5,000 officers in Haiti.
