Trade tensions rise as U.S. targets South Africa

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has strongly condemned Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 30% tariff on South African goods, targeting 14 countries accused of unfair trade. Trump also threatened an additional 10% levy on nations working with BRICS. Ramaphosa calls it a misinterpretation of data. The tariffs could seriously harm South Africa’s economy, as the U.S. remains its largest trading partner.
