South African farmers in Citrusdal export millions of oranges to US markets. They’re worried that Trump’s tariff uncertainty is putting thousands of African jobs at risk.

South Africa produces 11 billion US dollars of gold every year. Also diamonds palladium silver also is a major producer of uranium. Where all that money goes ? Why are so poor ?
This is a massive exaggeration. Majority of African exports go to China and Europe.
Can't BRICS help? Lemons to Russia – no?
The Make Britain UK and America US Great again campaign / card… Folks I don’t believe in coincidence. United Hustlers? Seems like an indirect way of normalising and masking greed by appealing to the rich minority and exploiting the narrow / shallow minded majority. Swindlers United sounds better. Oh wait, are we going with the nothing to see here strategy? My bad. 😆
3:32 bro wants to be on tv 😂
We in Botswana exports less than half a billon dollors worth goods to america, our trade with our neigbours is much larger than that.
let Americans grow and pick up coffee bean by themselves, this will MAGA.
We didn’t vote for him. They did this to the people! Not us! It shows how nasty America truly is
Tariffs are a tax on imports!!!!😊
SACU means the groups has to discuss together! Namibia doesn’t negotiate! SACU does! Lesotho exports were oriented because of US programs for export to America!
Of course it can "get worse", its Trump 🤷🏻♀️
Chinese rare earth coming from Africa and South America US and China will fight for it there
South Africa is not going to be bullied by the USA 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦
Dw should be more worried about the judgment thats coming to babylon, africa should slowly start stop your concern if you know you know
Africa may want to consider to do their own single market, or have several blocks of at least more than just one country, increase your leverage.
Africa is against USA 🇺🇸 and Israel 🇮🇱 so who cares for Africa !
The EU should get some of the best scam artists currently in EU prisons and teach our negotiators how to spot a scam. Don the Con will try to choke us and then get something for nothing. Maybe consider many many many nothing and sell them as something so he can show those to the American people as his prize.
South Africa should get their former Ambassador to the United States to Negotiate a Trade Deal for them because a 500% Tariff would be perfect for South Africa. 😮
🇺🇸 Donald Trump wants to use tariffs so that everything can be made in the US… 🤣
Ethical debates over AI are becoming more prominent in the New World.
0 tariffs to China?
The dwarfs of Europe just got saved by china tough stance on tarrifs on usa …. But once china n usa reach an agreement….Trump will come hard on the dwarfs of Europe the likes of Ursula Vander layen….
Trump stood for and campaigned on Tariffs and judging by his first term and his record of meaning what he says, its surprising that many countries are crying wolf when he implements what he promised all along.
This is about Southern African region.
That line manger got some steps
But these same farmers and AfriForum went running to Trump with lies about South Africa, now they are crying.mxm
Pivot to other markets… Canada has started buying its fruits and veggies from other markets and currently we are buying grapes from South Africa and they are great!
Send more produce here to Canada, we looking for anything that’s not from US..
Trump should Exempt Africa of taxes is a poor continent with respect I say this
Soon US will withdraw tarrifs on African nations, because US will lose supply of important raw materials.
Anyone who has passed a Geography class has heard of Lesotho…🙃🤨🤦🏿♀️
8:16 Chinese products prices will decrease for all markets but the US. All the production that cannot be sell to the US will be offered in special discount prices to the whole world.
All the monies given in USAID that was used to commit evil in Africa instead of it benefiting the people Trump will take back by hook or crook just like he wants Ukraine to pay back through mineral deal. Africa has no leadership and will be ripped off
For a moment I thought its Rhodey
Correction – Tariffs are a tax on IMPORTS. Typically they are reciprocated which in effect makes counter tariffs a tax on exports.
africa, and countries in africa need to become more unified. some countries are so divided and worry about their own interests causing more divisions.
africa has always been too divided, unity is the only solution for the long term. sharing information, creating a one platform, and not being complacent all these last 100 years.
nothing wrong with Trump, something wrong with the lack of foresight from the rest of the world.
this marriage was meant to fail at some stage. now is better than the past or future. take advantage of the current situation, come together, and lower desires, flatten the salary brackets, and work time brackets, so all have a piece of the pie..
Africa is a rich continent..
Why can’t EU import more from Africa
0:36 it’s true though haven’t heard about it till now
All we hear from the SA government , Ramaphosa and Malema…is SA doesnt need the USA and the USA isnt welcome in SA.
SA farmers must thank AfriForum for putting the spotlight firmly on SA forgetting they own ALL the farms that export to the US. You know what, if those products can't go to the US then the local markets will become cheaper. Talk about scoring an own goal
You nkow what guys we can do business with china.
Awe and we wanna eat the overtime my sister!!!!!!!!!😅😉
I’m from South Africa and that fruit is being farmed by Afrikaner farmers, the same people he is offering asylum to. 😮
south africa's mineral rights worth is about 3 trillion dollars. Government corruption and incompetence, created this mess.
business doesn't thrive in uncertainty 🤔 hm… now they know what WE THE PEOPLE feel, UNCERTAINTY .. ALL THE TIME… from the business classes volatility on basic commodities for us not not starve.
sympathy for white South Africans… nope.. not falling for that trick.
