U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau is set to visit Kenya between January 24 and February 1, aiming to reaffirm U.S.-Kenya ties in economic and security matters. This visit comes nearly three months after a planned trip by Vice President JD Vance was cancelled.

• Landau's visit will include discussions on commercial engagement, counter-terrorism cooperation, and Kenya’s contributions to security efforts in Haiti.
• He will meet with Kenyan government officials, potentially including President William Ruto, although joint media addresses are unconfirmed.
• This marks the first visit by a top U.S. government official to Kenya since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, following President Ruto's December trip to Washington.
• Landau’s itinerary also includes stops in Egypt, Ethiopia, and Djibouti, focusing on economic relations, regional peace, and security partnerships.
