The factory may be in East Africa, but the Wrangler and Levi's jeans rolling off the production line are pure Americana, destined for US stores like Walmart and JCPenney.
The United Aryan factory, on the outskirts of Kenya's capital Nairobi, exists for one reason: the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), a 25-year-old US law that gives duty-free access to thousands of goods made on the continent, particularly clothes.
But AGOA will expire in September unless President Donald Trump agrees to extend it-a decision putting hundreds of thousands of African livelihoods on a knife edge.
Though the programme has bipartisan support, it's going up against a president known for his free-trade scepticism.
