Trump's cuts to USAid are partly responsible for the spread of this outbreak, then he tries to foist patients off on Kenya. More shameful behavior from the US president. Kenya is in the right to stop this.
I applaud Kenya for siding with the rule of law, defending its sovereignty, and protecting its own interests. The United States is the wealthiest country in the world and has no business outsourcing care for its citizens who may be stricken with Ebola. Good call.
Umm, ok it’s there country. Are they expecting some sort of reaction?
Who implemented this from the US? True journalism reveals and go after the perpetrators.
