Kenya's political shift: What Trump's comeback means for East African nation
Kenyaʼs president shows hesitation in acknowledging Trumpʼs election win while trade deals hang in balance. Current US-Kenya partnerships face possible re-evaluation under new leadership
William Ruto took his time to send good wishes to Trump after US election results‚ unlike other African heads-of-state. Under Bidenʼs term Kenya got special treatment — becoming a non-NATO friend and joining Haitiʼs peace-force
During recent protests against Rutoʼs money-rules and government issues his bond with Biden didnt help much. Still he wrote to Trump saying Kenya wants to keep working with US on business tech-development and world-safety stuff
Trump win is bad news to the ruto administration; Trump abhors foreign aid as a means of developing africa
The US-Kenya deal (which should be done by Dec-2024) focuses on farming weather-safe methods and better ruling systems. Its different from Trumps old 2020 plan that was about wheat-sales and small-shops working together
John Mbadi the money-chief tried to make things look better on Nov-8: “US rules dont change much if its red or blue team in charge; We work more with big groups now and get World Bank help which US supports“
