Ruto backs China pivot, cites trade wins amid U.S. concerns

Tonight, we begin with President William Ruto’s unapologetic response to Washington D.C.'s move to re evaluate Kenya’s relations. In what could signal a brewing diplomatic standoff, the president insisted that Kenya’s foreign policy is guided solely by its economic interests, firmly defending Nairobi’s growing ties with Beijing. Ruto declared Kenya will not turn back from China, even as the US Congress pushes for a review of Kenya’s links with China, Russia, and Iran.
