South Africa is reeling after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 30% tariff on key South African exports, one of the steepest levies placed on any African nation. The move hits the automotive and agricultural sectors hardest, threatening up to 100,000 jobs. In response, President Cyril Ramaphosa has launched emergency measures, including an export support desk and a search for new trade partners in Asia and the Middle East. While some products like pharmaceuticals and critical minerals are exempt, the tariffs effectively mark the collapse of AGOA benefits. Talks with Washington have so far failed to ease tensions.
