In accordance with section 506A(a)(3)(B) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2466a(a)(3)(B)), I am providing advance notification of my intent to terminate the designation of the Central African Republic, the Gabonese Republic (Gabon), Niger, and the Republic of Uganda (Uganda) as beneficiary sub-Saharan African countries under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).
I am taking this step because I have determined that the Central African Republic, Gabon, Niger, and Uganda do not meet the eligibility requirements of section 104 of the AGOA. Specifically, the Government of the Central African Republic has engaged in gross violations of internationally recognized human rights and has not established, or is not making continual progress toward establishing, the protection of internationally recognized worker rights, the rule of law, and political pluralism. Niger and the Government of Gabon have not established, or are not making continual progress toward establishing, the protection of political pluralism and the rule of law. Finally, the Government of Uganda has engaged in gross violations of internationally recognized human rights.

China and Russia thank you.
Yep. Uranium and essential minerals in the region at stake because we have perv activists running our country into the ground who also want to make the entire world safe for openly practicing homosexuals, but nobody else.
The Chinese are restricting mineral exports as well in retaliation for the US embargo on chip exports to China.
It’s like Smoot-Hawley at the beginning of the Great Depression making the economy even worse.

How about pulling the 1k troops in Niger and putting them on our southern border while you’re at it Joe? By the way, you never went to Congress for any approval to have them fighting there. We have ZERO American interests in Niger.
There is a humongous lode of gold that was recently discovered in Uganda. They are going to steal it because, you know, “human rights”.
Red China is grateful but not surprised...they own The Big Guy.
Outright religious persecution by the Biden administration... against African Christians.
Gee. Sound familiar?
Africa isn’t gay enough for the Rat party?
