President William Ruto seemingly wants Western recognition as leader of the Africans. He is sharp, charming, scheming, focused, and exudes confidence.

He, however, has problems listening to alternative views. This probably leads him into decision-making embarrassments on matters of foreign affairs, which makes him look gullible to external persuasions that other states try to exploit.
