Kenya's Ruto on Trump's Radar as US Probes China, RSF Links | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Kenya, one of America’s closest allies in Africa, is now under the spotlight in Washington. A powerful group of U.S. lawmakers is pushing for a 90-day review of Kenya’s status—amid growing concerns over its ties with U.S. rivals like China, Russia, and Iran. The review will also probe Kenya’s alleged links to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces, the Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab group, and potential abuse of U.S. intelligence for civilian abductions. As President William Ruto deepens ties with non-Western powers, Kenya’s decades-long strategic partnership with the U.S. faces serious uncertainty under President Donald Trump’s tougher foreign policy outlook.
