EFF condemns so-called reciprocal tariffs by the US

# The EFF says the so-called reciprocal tariffs by the US on South Africa and other countries is an extractive mechanism designed to coerce sovereign nations into subjugation under America’s economic dominance. President Donald Trump has imposed a 30-percent tariff on South African exports to the US. The EFF says engaging in retaliatory tariff wars will only serve to entangle economies further in the web of America’s economic manipulation. It adds that government should be focused on diversifying the markets and investing in regional value chains.
