Former US ambassador to Kenya Kyle McCarter has cast doubts on the extension of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa), saying the deal—which ends in September— has been unfavourable to the US.

The former envoy says the new Trump administration would likely drop the Bill HR 10366-Agoa Extension and Enhancement Act of 2024 seeking to extend the duty-free import window by 12 years to 2037.
