President William Ruto has firmly expressed his support for U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent executive order on gender recognition, which officially acknowledges only two genders—male and female.
This announcement was made during his attendance at a Sunday service at the Global Cathedral Church in Nairobi, where Ruto emphasized that his government aligns with this policy.
In his statement, Ruto proudly mentioned that he had reached out to President Trump, who reassured him of continued support for Kenya’s peacekeeping mission in Haiti.
This came after concerns had been raised regarding the uncertainty of the U.S.’s stance on the mission following Trump’s election.
Despite the speculation, Ruto reassured the public that the U.S.-Kenya relationship remains strong and positive.
Ruto remarked that the U.S. government continues to recognize and support Kenya’s diplomatic efforts, particularly in the context of its mission in Haiti.
He highlighted the longstanding friendship and cooperation between the two nations, noting that the U.S. has been a significant partner in many sectors.
His comments reflected confidence that despite some critics fearing a potential deterioration in relations under Trump’s leadership, Kenya and the U.S. would continue to thrive as allies.
The Kenyan President also shared his stance on Trump’s controversial executive order regarding gender. According to Ruto, the policy that restricts recognition to only two genders—male and female—aligns with Kenya’s own values and policies.
He added that his government has always emphasized the importance of maintaining clear gender distinctions, a belief that is now reinforced by the U.S. government’s stance.
Ruto’s comments echoed Trump’s declaration during his inauguration, where he signed an executive order making it official U.S. policy to recognize only two genders, male and female.
This move has been seen as a direct response to the growing debates surrounding gender identity in the U.S. and globally.
The timing of Ruto’s support coincides with a key development in Kenya’s international relations, as the country recently deployed an additional 217 elite officers from the National Police Service to Haiti, contributing to the peacekeeping efforts in the region.
Despite potential challenges posed by Trump’s broader executive actions—such as those affecting U.S. foreign aid to Kenya—Ruto remains optimistic about the future of Kenyan-American diplomacy.
Through this statement, Ruto sought to reassure both Kenyans and the international community that Kenya’s commitment to its global partnerships, including with the U.S., remains strong.
The ongoing support for Kenya’s missions, coupled with the alignment of policy on gender recognition, further solidifies the bilateral ties between the two nations.
