This is bad news for KG if it is true. The '93 agreements allow aid from the US to come into KG without being taxed, which means the aid dollars go a lot further. If KG wants to tax the aid, then it also makes the US much less likely to give it.

One of the things that the US has been doing recently is building a new air traffic control tower for KG. The original glass of the project is now cracked (though I'm not sure of the reason). So one of the shipments on the way is replacement glass for the tower. If the agreement ends before delivery, the US will not likely pay the taxes to get it into the country, so the tower will not be properly completed. The country is essentially shooting itself in the foot.
