Ethiopia exported about $237 million worth of goods duty-free to the United States under AGOA in 2020, according to U.S. commerce department data. Billene Seyoum, the prime minister's spokeswoman, sent a text message to Reuters saying: “No one is more committed than the Government of Ethiopia to the cause of addressing the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Tigray, Amhara and Afar regions with urgency."

She previously said the suspension would take away 1 million jobs from the nation of 109 million people.
