Joe Biden’s 30-minute night phone call with Ruto ahead of Haiti missionUnited States President Joseph Biden Tuesday night had a telephone conversation with President William Ruto, where the former thanked the Head of State for Kenya’s agreement to lead the multinational security mission in gang-troubled Haiti. The two leaders welcomed the successful vote at the United Nations Security Council, which approved Kenya’s request to lead the mission. President Ruto had earlier promised the United Nations General Assembly that Kenya was more prepared in restoring peace and stability to the people of Haiti, who have suffered for far too long at the hands of violent criminals. Besides the Haiti Mission and the Africa Climate Summit, the two presidents also discussed additional opportunities to promote regional security and mutual prosperity by spurring new investments, jobs, and sustainable growth. The violence in Haiti has also affected children and led to abduction of people including foreigners who were on a mission.
