United States’ President, Joe Biden, has revealed plans to expel Uganda, Gabon, Niger and the Central African Republic (CAR) from a special US-Africa trade programme. The countries were either involved in "gross violations" of human rights or not making progress towards democratic rule, the president said. The US introduced the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) in 2000. It gives eligible sub-Saharan African countries duty-free access to the US for more than 1,800 products.
