Trump Tariffs Push South Africa Towards China Trade Deal
South Africa and China have signed a framework agreement to begin negotiations on a new trade deal, aiming to provide South African goods with duty-free access to the Chinese market. This development comes as South Africa seeks alternatives to U.S. trade policies, particularly following high import tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. The agreement is expected to be finalized by the end of March and includes enhanced investment opportunities for China in South Africa.
