Description
Growing concerns among businesses and residents in Lesotho on the fate of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), a key US-Africa trade deal up for renewal this year. It provides duty-free access for some products from about 30 sub-Saharan African countries. "There is still a lot of uncertainty around AGOA renewal with the new administration," says Malira Sekonyela, trade manager at the Lesotho National Development Corporation, referring to US President Donald Trump, who has called the tiny land-locked kingdom a “country no one has heard of.” IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
