Why Agoa expiry should give Africa sleepless nights more than Donald Trump’s tariff wars
People attend the 18th African Growth and Opportunity Act forum, an exhibition of eligible Ivory Coast products on the US market, in Abidjan, on August 5, 2019.
US President Donald Trump's plan to levy tariffs on imports to the United States, though mostly targeting Europe and Asia, may hurt some African exporters, especially if he fails to renew the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa).
Trade experts say the bigger impact of Trump's tariff policies would be a trade war with China, and this could end up having a larger effect on ties with Africa.
