Business leaders, investors and trade advisers at the Global Africa Summit in Washington DC said they are adapting to shifting US trade priorities under President Donald Trump, describing both challenges and new opportunities for US-Africa economic relations in an era of increasing tariffs and trade tensions.
The summit took place against the expiry of the African Growth and Opportunity Act AGOA - which grants duty-free access for dozens of African countries to the United States.
The 25-year old law expired on September 30, although reports suggest a one-year extension is still being considered by the Trump administration.
