Trump’s administration unlikely to give African exports priority, say experts

The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which gives a range of exports from Sub-Saharan Africa including Kenya duty-free access to the US, is unlikely to be a top priority for the incoming US administration given its negligible impact on US jobs.

Mark Bohlund, Bloomberg Intelligence Africa, Mid-East economist, said the policy of the US administration under President-elect Donald Trump toward Africa remains unclear and is likely to create uncertainty.
