Ruto Announces Trump’s Stance on Haiti Mission

President William Ruto announced the United States (US) President Donald Trump‘s stance on Kenya’s mission in Haiti.

According to Ruto, the support comes from an already special bond formed between the two countries.

Therefore, although the prior discussion about the deployment of the police force to Haiti was done with former President Joe Biden, the support had not ended.

The head of state was speaking on Sunday, January 26, at the Global Cathedral church in Nairobi.

“There is a special bond of friendship between the United States and Kenya. The US is a blessing to our nation, and we work together in many aspects.

“Last year, the (former) president requested that I use Kenya’s legendary and known security diplomacy to support Haiti.

Ruto on Trump’s Support to Kenya

Further, Ruto revealed that President Trump had also pledged his allegiance to the mission. 

“And I am very proud that even President Trump, with this new administration, supports Kenya’s mission in Haiti to support the women and children of that nation to experience peace and stability,” stated Ruto.

Moreover, President Ruto declared his support for Trump’s anti-LGBTQ campaigns, adding that it aligned with what Kenyans believed in. 

“We have gotten to understand that the policy direction of the US supports what we believe in. That boys must remain boys, and men must remain men, and women must remain women, and girls must remain girls,

We thank God that this year, the first news from the US is to confirm what the bible says, what our faith and tradition believe in,” added Ruto.

Kenya’s Economy

Also, Ruto spoke positively about the economy of Kenya, saying that a collective effort had been made to ensure that growth is recorded. 

“Working together, we have seen the inflation numbers come down, the exchange rates come down, and we have seen a great movement towards the healing of our economy. We can proudly move together, united as a nation,” he added.

Earlier on January 24, global credit ratings agency Moody’s Ratings (Moody’s) revised the country’s credit outlook and changed it from negative to positive.

It affirmed that the local and foreign-currency long-term issuer ratings and foreign-currency senior unsecured debt ratings still stand at CAA1.

According to the agency, the change in outlook to positive is driven by the increasing likelihood of Kenya’s liquidity risks easing and debt affordability improving over time.
