Kenya has paused a significant trade deal with China valued at nearly one billion dollars due to pressure from the Trump administration. The trade agreement, pending cabinet and presidential approval, involves tariff cuts on Kenyan exports like tea, coffee, and fish, which would help reduce Kenya's trade deficit with China. However, US warnings suggest that rapid engagement with Beijing may jeopardize Kenya's access to future US trade programmes, particularly after the expiration of AGOA in 2025, which previously provided Kenyan goods duty-free access to the US market.
