Kenya Aims to Finalize U.S. Trade Deal by Year-End

Kenya Aims to Finalize U.S. Trade Deal by Year-End

Kenya wants to make a trade deal with the United States by the end of the year.

This deal could help Kenya's businesses, especially if a special trade program called AGOA is not extended.

AGOA allows Kenyan goods to enter the U.S. without taxes, but it might end soon.

Kenya exports a lot of goods to the U.S. and the new talks seek to protect the jobs in the textile industry.

While Kenya wants to maintain existing trade relations, the US is slow to finalize the deals.
