New trade deal between Kenya and US will be a win for Africa, Uhuru says

President Uhuru Kenyatta has sought to dispel fear that the ongoing trade talks between Kenya and the United States will undermine the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).

Uhuru said Kenya’s trade deal with the US would instead assist the continent by creating a reference upon which other African nations will negotiate bilateral arrangements within the AfCFTA framework in future.
