Kenya is seeking to frame a new trade agreement with the US just weeks before the expiry of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) in September, in a renewed push that also comes days after a 10 percent tariff imposed on Nairobi’s exports to Washington took effect on August 1.
Trade Cabinet Secretary Lee Kinyanjui said on Thursday that he had emphasised Kenya’s strong commitment to securing a mutually beneficial trade agreement during a meeting with the US Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer.
