Kenyatta met with Donald Trump, held bilateral talks with Italian Prime Minister Gentiloni and other leaders. Ahead of the summit, Trump blasted Nato allies for spending too little on defence, calling on them to “contribute their fair share” in the financing of security. Although all other G7 summit members confirmed their total agreement on the landmark Paris climate deal of 2015 on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Washington’s officials remained non-committal. America’s allies in the G7 club were particularly disappointed that Trump did not touch on Russia. Despite this, and in significant ways, Kenya’s invitation to the G7 Summit was a Rubicon-crossing moment for Kenyatta.
