What a night! β¨ Victory belongs to the Lord. Grateful for the team, the moment, everything. ππΎππΎ
βWe now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.β
2 Corinthians 4:7 NLT
On behalf of the Government and the people of the Republic of Kenya, I extend my profound gratitude to President @realDonaldTrump and the Government of the United States for the generous hospitality accorded to our delegation in Washington, D.C.
Our engagements were not only productive, they equally marked a watershed moment in the long, strategic friendship between our two nations.
Kenya sincerely appreciates the clarity of purpose, the spirit of cooperation, and the readiness of President Trump's administration to forge a bold and mutually beneficial course for the future.
In health, we welcome the renewed patnership to strengthen disease surveillance, expand primary healthcare, and accelerate access to cutting-edge medical technologies. These commitments will save lives, uplift communities, and accelerate Kenyaβs journey toward universal health coverage.
In trade and investment, I am encouraged by the decisive steps we are taking to unlock new value chains, expand market access, support African manufacturing, and create jobs for our young people. The United Statesβ willingness to invest in Kenyaβs digital economy, infrastructure, and green transition signals a new era of shared prosperity.
In peace and security, I commend the United Statesβ steadfast support and resolve for stability across the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes region. Our discussions on counter-terrorism, maritime security, and conflict resolution were encouraging and reaffirm that when Kenya and the United States act together, the region becomes more secure, stable, and prosperous.
Kenya values President Trump's personal leadership and the renewed momentum he has brought to our bilateral relationship. We are committed to translating the commitments made in Washington into real impact for our citizens; and to expanding this partnership into one of the most consequential and impactful on the continent.
Met with Kenyan President @WilliamsRuto. We signed a groundbreaking agreement that protects American taxpayers, empowers Kenya, and saves lives. We also discussed security cooperation, commercial opportunities for American businesses, and Kenyaβs significant contributions to Haitiβs security.
