The US Congress has put forward proposals that would see the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) extended to 2041.
Senators Chris Coons of Delaware and James Risch of Idaho last week introduced the bipartisan Agoa Renewal and Improvement Act of 2024, which would see Agoa cover 54 African countries.
