The 25-year-old African Growth and Opportunity Act, Agoa, expired yesterday, leaving more than 30 Sub-Saharan African countries in limbo. This landmark trade agreement granted duty-free access to the US market for thousands of African products, supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs across the continent. The Trump administration has expressed support for a one-year extension of Agoa, but uncertainty looms as Congressional approval hangs in the balance. President Trump's tariff-heavy trade policies have already impacted Agoa's benefits, with some African exports facing US import taxes between 10% and 30%. Dr. Mmatlou Kalaba, Senior Researcher at the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy spoke to Elvis Presslin to elaborate on the impact of AGOA's expiration
