U.S.–Africa economic relations are entering a new phase—defined less by aid and more by trade, investment, and strategic infrastructure. At the center of this shift is the recent extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). President Donald Trump signed a one-year renewal through the end of 2026, restoring duty-free access for thousands of African exports to the U.S. market. The move offers short-term relief for exporters, but its limited timeline raises questions about long-term investment and policy certainty.
