The issue of revising this agreement was central to discussions held during the January visit to Morocco by the chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means, who met with Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch and Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita.<\/p>\n<p>The official notification was closely watched by Asian exporters, who have been heavily affected by the tightening of U.S. trade barriers, particularly Chinese companies. These actors are seeking to bypass the new tariff constraints by turning to more flexible intermediary markets.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, the tightening of U.S. customs policy could provide Morocco with an opportunity to position itself as a supply and re-export hub to the United States, benefiting Asian manufacturers looking for alternatives to circumvent the restrictions imposed on them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Africa<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press.
