The United States intends to exclude Burkina Faso from a trade deal that gives exporters in Africa tariff-free access to the American market.
President Joe Biden cited Burkina Faso’s lack of progress toward protecting the rule of law and political pluralism for terminating the country as a beneficiary of the African Growth and Opportunity Act.
US trade representative Katherine Tai says that the US was deeply concerned by the unconstitutional changes in government in Burkina Faso.
She asked the government to take necessary actions to meet Agoa’s criteria and return to elective democracy.
