Kenyan President William Ruto has expressed strong support for the recent policy shift in the United States under President Donald Trump, which recognizes only two genders—male and female.

Speaking at the Global Cathedral in Nairobi on Sunday, January 26, 2025, Ruto commended the move as a reflection of shared values between Kenya and the U.S., grounded in faith, tradition, and cultural beliefs.

“We are very proud, contrary to what has been happening in the past, this year we got some very welcomed developments from the United States as a leading democracy,” Ruto remarked.

“Their policy direction supports what we believe in—that boys must remain boys, men must remain men, and women must remain women and girls must remain girls.”

The Kenyan President tied his approval to longstanding religious and traditional norms in Kenya, which align with the executive order issued by President Trump.

“We thank God that this year, the very first news from the United States in the new administration is to confirm what the Bible says, what our faith believes in, and what our tradition is firmly grounded on,” he added.
