The official spoke on condition of anonymity to share the administration\u2019s plans. It was unclear where in Kenya the new facility will be built or whether the Kenyan government has signed off on the plan.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=267\">Scott Bessent confirms a $250 bill with Trump on it has a prepared design<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Kenyan government only revealed discussions with the U.S. on support for Ebola preparedness but did not address the facility.
