# US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and minister of Trade, Industry and Competition, Parks Tau, are reportedly expected to meet in New York today. The talks aim to lower the 30-percent tariff that America imposed on South African exports. The country’s trade-negotiation team has submitted a revised proposal in an effort to reach a lower tariff deal. US-SA relations have hit rock bottom since president Donald Trump took office in January. Trump has stopped all aid to the country, accusing it of discriminating against its white minority.
