U.S. tariffs imposed during Donald Trump's presidency have significantly reduced the benefits of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which aimed to provide duty-free access for African exports to the U.S. This has affected African economies relying on duty-free trade to boost exports and economic growth. The diminished trade advantages could impact employment and development in AGOA-eligible countries.
