African Countries Affected by Trump’s Tariff Changes – Full List

The trade relationship between Africa and the United States is about to change a lot because of a new rule on taxes that President Donald Trump has started. This new rule affects over 180 countries, including many in Africa, and it might change the way these countries do business with each other.

What Trump’s New Trade Rule Means 

President Trump calls this new trade rule “Liberation Day.” It’s meant to deal with what he sees as unfair trade practices by other countries. Now, any country that doesn’t have a special trade deal with the U.S. will have to pay a 10% tax on everything they sell to the U.S.

The idea is simple: if a country charges a lot of money for U.S. goods to come in, the U.S. will charge them back the same or more.

This could cause problems for African countries like South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya, which sell a lot of goods to the U.S. They now have to deal with these new taxes, which make it harder to sell their products.
