Trump Imposes 30% Reciprocal Tariffs on South Africa, Pretoria Voices Concern | Firstpost Africa | N18G
The United States has imposed steep reciprocal tariffs on South Africa, with the Trump administration levying a 30% duty on imports from Pretoria. This move follows claims of unfair trade practices and escalating tensions over South Africa’s domestic policies. Experts warn the tariffs could severely impact key industries, particularly automobile exports, which rely on duty-free access under AGOA. With the new duties set to take effect soon, the question remains—can South Africa negotiate a resolution with Washington, or is this the beginning of a prolonged trade conflict? Watch the video for more details.

What about SA's tariffs traditionally imposed on the United States? Check poultry industry.
Try and import a car from the USA and see how much tariff the ANC government imposes on you. South Africa has been exporting stuff tonthe USA tariff free for decades. What did the ANC do for the USA in return? Stab them in the back at every opportunity! You may not like Trumps methods and the unintended consequences but his principles are 100% correct. Trump welcomes any country to appeal and negotiate with the USA on tariffs. Instead of negotiating in good faith on behalf of the citizens of South Africa, ANC chooses to insult Trump and his government to the detriment of South Africa. Go Trump!
😂bye bye 👋 AMERICA , WELCOME THE AFRICA…
Only 30%? we want 100% so disappointed in this white man 😢
This reporter's tone while speaking about SA is clearly indicative of her dislike of SA 😂
I think this lady commenting trump decision to impose import dutie is clueless as how the mechanisms of import tax works
Trump shame on you will survive without America you forget only your country use terrif to support Israel , the truth Israel and US committed the genocide to kill innocent people in Palestine
We don't care about Trump's tariffs, we joined BRICS for that reason
What about.icj to isreal
Malema singing kill Boer anc is with this
Blame game
Now government must. Cry
People still believe that there is white genocide in South Africa which is such a lie
South Africa pass rate is 30%
I hope trump freeze all accounts off Ramhaposa in over see then Ramhaposa can't run if the shit hit the fan
It's not Ramhaposa his name is pinocchio 🤥🤥
Please take note: We in South Africa are not part of the ANC cadre deployed government ‼️🔊🆘️🆘️🆘️
This is bigger than land reforms, this is about South Africa being part of BRICKS. America will be weak … All markets are moving back to africa and ASIA!… its over for America
Trump’s a business man first America is a business remember that 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 pay to stay
Trump lies about south Africa
What the hell will happen on the 5th with the stock market INVESTORS
I have no idea …who this Khani person is …but she spoke nothing but the truth …. and this reporter ….was a complete ignorant fool with very little care ** was it because she did not want to make any statements or what???
Hope our president can come out of white capital ist we ha colonisere why do not u look petint from president Ibrahim Troere
This is called badly reporting from a globalist source
True BAD things are happing and has happened to the Whites, Indians, and coloreds in my Opinion. and i say give 1000%
Trump is doing right. The only way to wake you people up. Africa smell the coffee and do the right thing. Unite, trade amongst yourselves and stop being dependent. Besides..that aid never got to people in need but end up in some individuals.
USA in Africa was charged enormous tarrifs, Lesotho charged USA about 99% . What do you expect. Trump is only being reciprocal. Am talking of Africa. Wake up Africa 😔
Sorry to say press trump why 30% why not 60%
Nah I think we have to stop helping them if they do this to us because they using our farming , our minerals while now he wants income by it even though we gave the minerals we deserve actually the income from that and the fact he is doing this because of our country joining BRICKS community where China a part of BRICKS community aswell as Rusha is just crazy that shows that he is selfish where he even made his very own country suffer from expenses
Tramp should give south Africa 50% ..wat about salary
I don't t understand why they're mad when we tariff back to them we only charge about 50% of what they charged us.
America should sanction South Africa until it's 137 race laws have been removed. This situation of entitlement well above that of merit is ruining the country. Typical of communist social engineering. It's hard to believe that there are 20 million more black people in SA since as recently as 1994. Nearly half that number infected with the STD virus which causes AIDS. Then there is the self destructive violence. Yet whites are the threat that should be contained by absurd race laws. The country would have been safer by reforming Apartheid.
What the analyst is saying about "non existent farm murders" is hearsay in my opinion. If one could hear the actual discussion with President Trump and the South Africans on that day and seen the actual recorded facts presented about farm murders, then a comment can be made disputing the allegations in my opinion. I am pretty sure those South Africans presented proof ie. A record and history of farm murders since 1994 witch may present a compelling indictment against the South African government and the EFF.
