The proposed trade agreement aims to protect Kenya’s trade interests in the event of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) not being extended beyond 2025.
The US-Kenya trade talks, initiated in July 2022, continue to progress, with the first round of negotiations held in Nairobi, signaling the possibility of a comprehensive free trade deal between the two nations.
A recent report has shown that the United States is unsure when discussions for a free trade agreement with Kenya would be completed, notwithstanding the fact that Nairobi previously stated that the talks would be completed by December.
