The United States intends to exclude Burkina Faso from a trade deal that gives exporters in Africa tariff-free access to the American market.
President Joe Biden cited Burkina Faso’s lack of progress toward protecting the rule of law and political pluralism for terminating the country as a beneficiary of the African Growth and Opportunity Act.
