Скачать или смотреть Kenya: Ruto Government Signs Lobbying Deal With Trump's Former Aide Trujillo | Firstpost Africa

Facing a 10% US tariff and potential loss of its Major Non-NATO Ally status, Kenya is taking drastic measures to curry favour with the Trump administration. The Ruto government has signed a $175,000-per-month lobbying deal with a US firm led by former Trump administration official Carlos Trujillo. This move has been branded as a strategic move by the government but is widely criticised by Kenyans as a wasteful use of taxpayers' money. The diplomatic friction stems from US concerns over Kenya's foreign policy, including growing ties with China, Russia, and Iran, and allegations of human rights abuses. With the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) also set to expire, President Ruto's upcoming visit to the US will be a critical test of whether this expensive lobbying effort can protect Kenya's economic and strategic interests from Trump's hardline policies.
