President William Ruto's administration has commended the United States government for retaining its reciprocal tariff at 10 per cent, the lowest rate among nations with comparable export interests.
Trade Cabinet Secretary Lee Kinyanjui, in a statement on Friday, August 1, thanked President Donald Trump's administration and expressed Kenya's commitment to deepening its longstanding trade relationship with the US.
According to Kinyanjui, the US has been a key strategic partner for Kenya across various sectors, including commodity exports, digital trade, tourism, and regional security cooperation.
He added that Kenya would continue to engage constructively with Trump's administration to safeguard and grow the historical trade ties that have for the longest time benefited both countries.
