  1. Lesotho was sad when Trump said "Nobody Knows Lesotho"
    Oh well, I guess thats a problem of the past… Because NOW he knows ALLLL about Lesotho.
    Lesson: When someone is feeding your mouth, don't talk, don't bite. Just eat, and stfu…Or else, feel the pain.
    Awe ?

  2. Prince Harry said 20yrs ago "nobody knows where Lesotho is" not even his Eton Tutor.. and since then just reinforced Africa/disease bias.. & him the saviour! Trump was being sarcastic…EU/UK & US politicians & industry leaders know full-well "where Lesotho is".

  3. Worse than throwing darts at a board. They used defective and frankly embarrassing math to do this publicity stunt. Not that Trump can do even simple math……

  4. Reciprocal.
    Do you journalists know how to read and listen?
    Or is you echo chamber too loud?
    If Lesotho drops it's tariff it gets a lower tariff. The formula is easy, even a lefti can figure it out.

  5. Part of the problem is that Africans are stuck selling low-wage labor. Often, Asian investors come and set up factories in Africa to take advantage of preferential access to US market under AGOA. It’s high time African leaders and citizens rethink our competitiveness strategies and it starts with investing in education.

  6. This is why Trump is right. How can't an African country find a market on African continent which is importing almost so many clothes from Asia in particular ???

  7. The Trump administration doesn't know what reciprocal means. They need a dictionary in the White House as well as an atlas. Trump is a narcissist. He doesn't have a heart or a soul. Every person in Lesotho is a far greater person than Trump.
