African trade ministers are set to meet on April 14 to assess the implications of a sweeping new U.S. tariff regime that will impose a 10 percent levy on imports from more than 100 countries.

The move, introduced by President Donald Trump, is expected to have significant repercussions for African exporters, many of whom rely on preferential trade agreements to access the U.S. market.

The ministerial meeting will bring together policymakers, economists, and trade experts to discuss strategies for mitigating the impact of rising protectionism and accelerating regional economic integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
