At the United Nations General Assembly in New York, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held talks with Kenyan President William Ruto on expanding cooperation in trade, artificial intelligence, critical minerals, nuclear energy and regional security. Ruto welcomed the extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act and said the two countries discussed responsible AI governance, security efforts in Somalia, stability in Haiti and the humanitarian crisis in Sudan. Rubio also met with the foreign ministers of Japan and South Korea, reaffirming trilateral cooperation on economic security, critical technologies, supply chains, Taiwan Strait stability and North Korea’s denuclearization ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Separately, Rubio convened Arctic partners to discuss security, infrastructure and investment, including plans for stronger defense cooperation involving the United States, Denmark and Greenland and possible collaboration on icebreakers.
