President Ruto has reiterated that Kenya and the United States will continue strengthening their strong diplomatic ties under the administration of the newly sworn-in President Donald Trump.
Speaking during The Global Cathedral Sunday service held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre’s COMESA Grounds in Nairobi, the President noted that the Trump administration’s policies align with those of Kenya, further strengthening the existing bonds between the two nations.
He welcomed President Trump’s Executive Order, which mandates that the US Government recognizes only two biological sexes, male and female, as determined at conception.
He noted that, unlike the previous policy, this directive aligns with the core beliefs of the Kenyan faith and is firmly rooted in Kenyan traditions.
“This policy directive supports what we believe in: That boys must remain boys, men must remain men, girls must remain girls and women must remain women,” he said.
Additionally, the President commended the Trump administration’s commitment to supporting the security support mission in Haiti, which Kenya has been honoured to lead.
“I am very proud that President Trump and the new administration support Kenya’s mission in Haiti to help the men, women, and children of that nation live in peace and stability,” he remarked.
The Head of State highlighted that the country is exhibiting clear indicators of economic stability and growth.
He pointed out the significant decline in inflation and interest rates, along with the stabilization of the exchange rate.
Consequently, he noted that Kenya received encouraging news from Moody’s, a global credit rating agency, which has reviewed Kenya’s financial outlook from negative to positive, demonstrating confidence in the country’s future.
“There are already signs that God is taking our country places,” added the President.
