Kenya's Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has affirmed that relations between Kenya and the United States remain strong, debunking claims of a strain. He clarified that a proposal to review Kenya's status as a major non-NATO ally originated from a private member's bill in the US Senate, not the US government itself.

• Mudavadi stated that Kenya currently enjoys one of the lowest US tariff rates, at 10 percent.
• The Prime Cabinet Secretary assured that Kenya is engaging Washington regarding the possible renewal of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).
• Mudavadi dismissed speculative claims about Kenya's foreign alignments, noting that neither President William Ruto nor he had visited Russia or Iran.
