Trump to Isolate South Africa’s Ramaphosa Over Ties with Russia, China? | Firstpost Africa
According to US media reports, key Republicans are already pressing the incoming Donald Trump administration to kick South Africa out of lucrative trade arrangements. This is if the South African government does not change its position on Russia, China, Iran, and Israel. South Africa is likely to be under intense scrutiny by the Trump administration. Some of the high-ranking Republicans have already shared their concerns over how Pretoria is leaning away from Washington’s positions in a number of ways. The most at-risk trade with the US is under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). As per last year’s data, South Africa has been the top beneficiary with around $3.6 billion worth of exports mostly vehicles and parts, fruits, precious metals, and chemicals. However, the Trump rule could affect US-South Africa trade under AGOA. Watch for more.

O I like this!! SA is our neighbour country!!! Good!!
Viva Russia ❤❤❤
It is obvious that Elon has been whispering in the 🍊🤡’s ear about the SA government taking his rich friends to task. I doubt he could point to SA on a map and has never previously taken any interest. 🙄
❤❤❤us is well known for apologising for its mega non-intelegence poor duty❤❤❤
ANC of nelson commie terrorist mandela hates the West. Dont give them a cent. See if china fills the african begging bowl from now on.
Petty politics by International Leader by Harassing Black Presidents because of Financial Aid Dependancy. Trump is motivating Africa to build their own economy empire because they have all.
We don’t care let him do the worse. Keep making enemies for yourself Mr Trump tomorrow is not known to anyone.
Market is every where Africans
This man trump only need a war because of his behaviour! He doesn't like any culture look irag struggling because of American i think he's old enough to run country
Let's see those who were gate keepers on the usa funding, they should be exposed, doge is checking all payments and cash flows, to stop the corruption, anc will suffer huge loses
No… they've been mismanaging the funds…providing poor services… allowing open borders…burning… threatening with transportation…gang violence…high crime rates… distributing funding to causes that don't do anything to assist… city structure maintenance and proper waste management neglected…water consumption hasn't even been considered??? As for electricity…huge bills and power station overloaded and crashing…so what has happened to all the funding that was issued by the USA to run all these aiding projects…it's got nothing to do with the trading… money was issued during covid and prior and after…to aid SA born citizens and EU's…we never received any help from gov and relief organisations. All we got was attacks and threats…family separated and no protection no funding??? Weve made contact with the Whitehouse about our concerns of survival here…the justice system is terrible here!???
Remove your fear and move away from the people of the West. You will do better, we will do better
Well I'm a South African and I say Ramaphosa an malema deserve what's coming to them the 2 and there party's that's ruining the country and ties with other countries the SA is on its way to hell with those 2
Why is South Africa killing white farmers?
The drama up there is now in South Africa. How many years left till we see bombs too🤷🤧 or am I misinformed
Sheer stupidity upon stupidity. The sa. Minister ofminerals has threatened to stop selling minerals to the USA. This will only result bankrupting rsa mineral sector. The USA will merely buy the needed minerals from other countries. Where do you get these idiots and does no one check what these corrupt uneducated bafoons say.
The is no challenge problem ANC is going to lose bribes
The are parents who birth by mistake how can fighting to keep country doesn't respect ur soul by doing business by plant diseases so that they can sell treatment almost all diseases were cooked by USA 2nd threatened as long depends on them jealous to see ur country progress make sure u dont grow by applying strategy to destroy u so that u depend on them for the rest of ur lives, bullism they attack Russia and China bcz they progress but their strategy doesn't work than make them more powerful ,the is no dollarisation but countries were undermined and not allowed by west club (Nato) to be part and parcel of their club they decided to open their club (Bricks) undermined them thought is not going to work now they are surprised
I pray that God gives our government the knowledge to help and fix our country
I’m proud that South Africa is not licking America’s ass. For a long time, America felt like the Jesus of the World, our leaders must know that there are other countries like Russia and China willing to work with them if America wants to control us. Trump is doing well for America in the process giving us an opportunity to explore our abilities to be self reliance. No, it’s ridiculous. South Africa must stand on business with their neutral stance, they should not entertain Trump. America is not God, people must have freedom to associate themselves with any country that equally contributes to our economy growth. South Africans are capable of surviving anything, they have what it takes that includes resources and education. As a Namibian, we are watching our sister country because they are the root of Africa. We can’t make America and Russia’s beef our problem.👍👍👍
Why the foreign countries sponsored the aid which is dealing with the healthy of RSA people? Will AIDS and TB ends when we are sponsored by outside country? I doubt.
You see my massage to my fellow black brothers and sisters in South Africa is, you will be deported from South Africa to dragon's burg once you put white people in power.😲🔥🔥🔥
Because of elon musk all this things are happening
Trump is a great and powerful leader.
30 aids babies born everyday in SA according to stats, its probably more by now but that's Cyril killing people for his own wealth. Don't you go to jail for that?
I am a proud South African, it's time we have someone bully our corrupted government.
Look shark get rid of trump
Sharp get rid a trump he is problem
And rhe Isreal rugby team? Are they welcome now?
Our President has done nothing wrong here.The real issue is that he can think better than other leaders…we should not be undermining each other by the way.
we need to stop giving money to people the hate us !!
😢🎉😅😮
Sounds like South Africa is waking up. Praying the whole Continent wakes up and stop letting these westerners bully with there so called resources.
Trust this Trump’s efforts will not work removing the US from the UN security council and then soon from the United Nations he removed the US from the WHO China and Russia will fill the void that five time draft dodger is pissing on the graves of world war 2 vets. He is destroying centuries of good will and then some of you children will applaud him for dropping out of NATO the world is moving on without the United States Canada now is trading with China and Japan. American farmers have lost their work force and their Government subsidies are being cut because of the closing of USAID, he is running it in the ground just like he did his failed businesses.
If Trump thinks he’s going to make the ANC forget the fact that Russia was their number one ally from the 1920s-80s, he’s totally ignorant of the history of African liberation movements than.
Hey Africa open your eyes this is an owl without horny . Get me correct what is America as compared to Africa . I want to tell you trump stop everything you are not God but soon within 2 years you will bug Africa at large please bear in mind what am say today and the whole world Will turn upon you
Cyril and SA will be just fine.. y’all can talk and talk all day untill you get red in the face. SA is a sovereign nation and does not take orders from USA.. Secure your borders and stay out of SA affairs. Have a nice day
what a lot of horse shit this idiot spews.
SOUTH AFRICA's BIGGEST PROBLEM IS "CANCEROUS RACISM" ISSUE. The country is terribly plagued with self-hate & jealousy, it's a terrible mental cancer. Majority of S. African black folks are unfortunately STILL VERY MUCH STUCK IN THE PAST ERA. (Stupidity Rules In SA). Stupid is as stupid does.
It's highly obvious that these very same people are mentally damaged, and the very same people are teaching their kids the same principles.
Two serious painful issues currently infesting in South Africa is "CRIME & CORRUPTION". These 2 hinderances are intentionally perpetuated (in operation) which is openly sabotaging South Africa's country steered & monopolized by the Communist Mafia the "ANC'. 30years later the situation is still not any better or different than before (1994) things have actually deteriorated fundamentally.
PS. Something bad (terrible) must first happen before anything will go into the opposite direction.
CASH FROM THE EU ( 90 bILLION RAND) XPLAINS ANCs ATTITUDE TO TRUMP AND RASOOL CHECKING TRUMP ABOUT PALESTINE AND ARMING UKRAINE n ISRAEL TO KILL WOMEN n CHILDREN

Love hearing this Nr Trump taje everything away from this corrupt and racist government
Trump isn't the bully, Ramaphosa is the aggressor. There is usually consequences for the person who wants money but trash aAmerica. Please be objective. Our government do not take responsibility for themselves.
We have everything we need here in South Africa. We do as we please. We are not to be instructed by trump who we are to relate with.
