# US president Donald Trump has announced universal ten-percent tariffs on all imports into America, which will go into effect on Saturday. Certain countries will be hit with steeper tariffs based on US trade deficits. South African exports are among the worst affected, and will now face tariffs of 30-percent. China, the second top importer to the US behind Mexico, will now face a 54-percent tariff under the new policy. Trump says for decades America has been looted, pillaged, and raped by its trading partners:
