Kenya's Trade Minister Lee Kinyanjui announced that the country hopes to finalize a trade agreement with the United States by year-end, a move that is crucial to maintaining export access amid the impending expiration of a duty-free trade program. This potential deal, the first between a sub-Saharan African nation and the US, comes as Kenya faces increased tariffs on goods and seeks to bolster its economy amid shifting global trade relationships, notably with China. The urgency is heightened as the African Growth Opportunities Act, which supports many Kenyan exports, is set to end soon.
