Prime Cabinet Secretary and CS for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Musalia Mudavadi address journalists during a quarterly update on Kenya’s foreign policy at the Ministry headquarters in Nairobi on November 12, 2025.
Kenya is pursuing a bilateral deal with the US to replace the stalled Strategic Trade and Investment Partnership (STIP) even as President Donald Trump promised a one-year extension of the Africa Growth Opportunity Act (Agoa), which allows them preferential access to the key market.
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi said on Friday that the US planned for a bilateral agreement with Kenya in place of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and STIP, which failed materialise over a combined 10-year period of talks.
