Video Description

Kenya is facing one of its biggest economic decisions in recent history. After securing a landmark trade agreement with China that would allow Kenya to export nearly 98% of its goods tariff-free, new reports now indicate the deal has been paused amid growing pressure linked to a new U.S. trade strategy.

This development places Kenya at the centre of an intensifying global trade rivalry between China and the United States. With thousands of Kenyan jobs tied to U.S. market access, and massive opportunities promised by China’s vast consumer market, Nairobi is now weighing how to protect its economy without offending either power.

In this detailed analysis, we break down what the China deal means for Kenya, why it has reportedly been halted, how U.S. trade interests factor into the decision, and what this moment signals for Africa’s position in the global economic order.

Is Kenya being forced to choose sides? Can African nations truly balance relations between competing global powers? And what does this mean for the future of African trade independence?
