# Minister of Trade, Industry, and Competition Parks Tau says they will engage with US lawmakers on the intention to review bilateral ties with South Africa. This comes amid strained relations over South Africa’s stance on Israel and ties with Russia, China, and Iran. The minister will lead a high-level delegation to Washington next week for the African Growth and Opportunity Act Summit. Tau says he will use the summit to explain the government’s position on a wide range of issues. South Africa is the largest US trade partner in Africa.
