Claim restatement and timeline: The State Department media note (2026-01-23) announced Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau would travel Jan. 24–Feb. 1, 2026, and stated: “While in
Nairobi, Deputy Secretary Landau will meet with
Kenyan officials to discuss commercial engagement, counter‑terrorism cooperation,
Kenya’s contributions to security in
Haiti, and broader regional issues.”
Current status (as of 2026-01-24): Only the official trip announcement and press republications are available; I found no State Department readout, U.S. Embassy Nairobi statement, or Kenyan government release confirming that the Nairobi meetings occurred or summarizing those discussions.
Itinerary timing: Independent reporting places the Nairobi stop later in the tour (around Jan. 28), so it is unlikely the Nairobi meetings had taken place by 2026-01-24.
Assessment: The meeting topics align with longstanding U.S.-Kenyan priorities and there is clear incentive for such discussions, making completion likely during the scheduled visit; however, there is currently no verifiable public record that Landau met Kenyan officials and discussed all four specified topics.
Conclusion: The claim is in progress—announced and plausible but not yet documented as completed as of 2026-01-24.
Recommended follow-up: Check for official readouts (State Department, U.S. Embassy Nairobi, Kenyan MFA) after Jan. 28–31, 2026 to confirm meetings and topics discussed.
