All throughout Africa and East Africa is no exception. The countries on the continent are pissed at Donald Trump. They believe that Trump is blowing up the world order and all of the goodwill that former President Biden helped establish in various African nations, Donald Trump has wiped out instantly. And you know who has prounced on that? Xi Jinping of China.
Should be noted that Africa is one of the fastest growing digital continents in the United States, probably the fastest growing digital continent. A lot of big business growing there. And it's important that we invest in Africa. If you take a look in East Africa, for example, in the Republic of Kenya, which now has the largest economy in East Africa, about 131.67 billion.
So about what, four or five times the GDP of El Salvador, which Donald Trump loves so much there. The Kenyan President William Ruto basically said that Trump has just created a death blow to the current world order. A death blow, he said.
And then shortly after making those remarks as Donald Trump tariffed the world, President Ruto of the Republic of Kenya took a state visit to China to meet with Xi Jinping. So as Donald Trump has been lying this whole week and faking having conversations with Xi Jinping, further humiliating the United States. We know what Xi Jinping was doing.
He was giving a state welcome, a big celebratory visit to the leader of Kenya, President Ruto. It should be noted how strategically smart former President Biden was right here. So who was the ambassador to the Republic of Kenya under former President Biden's administration? It was Meg Whitman, the former CEO of eBay and HP.
And it was a very strong and powerful showing by former President Biden that he was committed not just to the Republic of Kenya, but also to the entire continent in Africa, and that it was an important priority for him to invest in Africa. Now, we know that China has sought this foothold in Africa through their Belt and Road or their Bridge and Road initiatives.
the new Silk Road where they've spent billions in different African nations. They've helped build government buildings. They've helped build highways there because they understand the strategic importance of Africa to China and building goodwill and what that could ultimately do. They have strong power. They have soft power.
