US President Donald Trump’s administration has signalled its intention to restart talks for a comprehensive trade agreement with Kenya, insisting a deal will inform negotiations with other African countries as the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) expires.

US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told Congress last week that a meeting with his Kenyan counterpart, Lee Kinyanjui, took place in Washington at the beginning of the month, laying the ground for the resumption of talks.
