Kenya's eligibility for duty-free access to the United States market under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is under renewed scrutiny as the Donald Trump administration begins its annual review.

• The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) initiated the 26th annual review, requesting comments and scheduling a public hearing for July 23.
• This review follows concerns over alleged human rights abuses and corruption under President William Ruto's administration.
• The process could impact Kenyan exporters, particularly in the apparel and textile sectors, who benefited from a recent one-year AGOA extension.
