Atwoli also described Trump’s victory as a breath of fresh air that would restore global stability to the world stage.
“As Kenyan workers, it remains our hope and trust that President Trump will usher in the much-needed sanity considering the rise of ungodly leaders with ungodly public policies, which transcend their borders, on the very platform,” said Atwoli.
He went on to say that Trump’s leadership would benefit several countries because he is not afraid to express his views on a variety of important issues.
“Noteworthy, countries world over are in dire need of strong leaders who are equally God fearing and can take decisive action on numerous issues at the global stage,” said Atwoli.
He also urged Trump to acknowledge and collaborate with the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) to improve the welfare and interests of American workers, whose votes helped him win.
COTU’s statement comes shortly after the Kenyan government, through Trade Principal Secretary (PS) Alfred K’Ombudo, denied reports that reelection would result in the cancellation of several trade agreements with the United States.
