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 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We know the lapse of AGOA is frustrating and confusing for the hard workers of the apparel and footwear industry, but make no mistake — we remain committed to securing this critical program’s renewal. #SmartTrade #AGOA

After nearly a quarter century, the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) has expired. bit.ly/46uhOMd

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 👇 uschamber.com/international/…

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 ow.ly/42gY50WRecy

AAFA and @CFDA welcome the new U.S.-EU trade framework and urge future trade deals to include non-stacking tariff rules so American families & businesses aren’t taxed multiple times on the same goods. #SmartTrade #TariffsAreTaxes ow.ly/NPbb50WJGbJ

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. youtu.be/rAMb2oa1JWc?fe…
