Zimbabwe to scrap tariffs on US goods

The African nation’s leader says his government prefers to foster friendly relations with all countries rather than take a hostile stance

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has announced plans to remove tariffs on goods imported from the US in an attempt to improve bilateral relations, which have been strained for years.

The move over the weekend comes days after US President Donald Trump introduced new global “reciprocal tariffs” aimed at addressing trade imbalances.
