Kenya Secures $1 Billion China Trade Deal Despite Trump Pressure | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Kenya has announced a preliminary agreement with China for duty-free access to its markets, allowing 98.2% of Kenyan exports, including agricultural products like tea and coffee, to enter China without tariffs. This nearly $1 billion deal aims to enhance trade relations amid a significant trade deficit with China, reported at $3.7 billion in early 2025, putting political pressure on Nairobi. President Ruto promotes deeper ties with Beijing while responding to U.S. pressure regarding the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). Kenya's strategy focuses on keeping trade options open with both China and the U.S. to avoid economic isolation amidst global rivalries.
