'You Chose a Good Day to Come; We're in Very Good Mood’, Trump Tells Uhuru [VIDEO]

"You chose a good day to come," United States President Donald Trump told Uhuru Kenyatta at the beginning of bilateral talks between the two sides at the Cabinet Room, White House on Monday afternoon.

Speaking at the start of the high-level discussions between American and Kenyan delegations, Trump described the day as "special".

He said: “Well, you were here on a very special day, everything I said is going to happen, it ends up happening, so you picked a good day to come. We’re in a very good mood," Trump told Kenyatta.

Responding to Trump, President Kenyatta joked: “We’ll bring that over to Kenya."

Kenyatta urged the US to increase its trade and investments in Kenya and Africa.

“We have had very strong and excellent cooperation with the US in security and defence, especially in the fight against terrorism. Most important, we are here looking to enhance our partnership in trade and investment,” President Kenyatta said.

Kenyatta became the third African leader to hold direct talks with President Donald Trump at the White House.

Egypt President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi was the first African Head of State to meet Trump in April 2017 while Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria held talks with the American leader at the White House in April this year.
