Kenya facing biggest fallout in US relations

President William Ruto with President Donald Trump’s Senior Advisor Massad Boulos at State House, Nairobi. He said that Kenya acknowledges the strong cooperation it enjoys with the United States of America. President Ruto said that Kenya commits to step up these ties, especially in the areas of trade, investment, food security and stability in the Horn of Africa for mutual success. [PCS, Standard].

The cordial relationship between Kenya and the US since independence in 1963 is now being tested like never before after the US Senate announced it was investigating the country’s human rights violations and ties with rebel groups in the region.

It has also launched a review of Kenya’s strategic military alliance status because of its close ties with China and other serious allegations like gold smuggling through the country.
