President Uhuru Kenyatta, who landed in Washington DC on Saturday night, will meet President Donald Trump on Monday to drum up support for increased American investment, trade and partnership with Kenya.

The meeting at the White House will be the first by President Kenyatta on a bilateral level.

It is only the second formal meeting for an African leader at the White House, and points to Kenya's increasingly significant role in security in the region, one of President Trump's obvious focus areas.

It will also be the start of high-level meetings with global leaders in 10 days.

British Prime Minister Theresa May is due in Nairobi on Thursday before the President (Kenyatta) meets Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing during the China-Africa summit.
