The European Union and the White House have confirmed a 15% deal, including European cars and pharmaceuticals, in a joint statement clarifying their tentative trade deal announced last month. And in our Africa series this month, today we discuss the African Continental Free Trade Area, which aims to create a single market for goods and services in the continent, boosting trade and economic integration.
