AAFA has spent two years championing AGOA and Haiti HOPE/HELP. Even with the lapse, our resolve is clear: we’ll keep pressing for renewal before the year ends. #SmartTrade #AGOA #HaitiHopeHelp @bloomberg @Jimwyss

Just hours after the Trump administration pushed an international “gang suppression force” through the United Nations to stabilize Haiti, US lawmakers gutted the country’s last stable industry.

The African Growth and Opportunity Act, a cornerstone of US-Africa trade for 25 years, is set to expire on Sept. 30. The US should act now to renew AGOA and protect decades of economic progress for the US and Africa. Read our full letter to Congress 👇 https://t.co/WXKbZTPcse

AGOA and Haiti HOPE/HELP need to be renewed urgently by Congress! “The lack of certainty that these programmes will be renewed, as Congress waits to the very last moment, has already stymied investment opportunities.” @juststyle

It’s been 95 years since the Smoot-Hawley Act, leading to 20% tariffs that widened and deepened the Great Depression. Some of Trump’s tariffs are just as high or higher. We must avoid repeating this historical policy mistake. https://t.co/jxRJHVHj3V

AAFA says in response to Trump's remarks that tariffs are not good for the industry, domestic manufacturing, employment, or consumers #TariffsHurt #TariffsAreTaxes #ShrinkTariffs

Trump said his tariff policy was aimed at promoting the domestic manufacturing of tanks and technology products, not sneakers and T-shirts.
