U.S. Vice President JD Vance Cancels Kenya Visit Following G20 Summit Snub
US Vice President J.D. Vance has canceled a visit to Kenya planned for November after US President Donald Trump canceled a trip to the G20 summit in South Africa, the Kenyan government said today.
Despite Trump’s announcements that he would participate in the G20 Summit, he said that “no American official” would participate in the summit because “South Africa is violating the human rights of the white minority,” and as a result of that decision, Vance canceled his visit to Kenya.
A statement from the Kenyan government said that the cancellation of the visit would not affect the friendly relations between the two countries.
The Kenyan government has previously said it wants to reach a trade agreement with the US by the end of this year.
