The Trump administration recently imposed a steep 50 percent tariff on Lesotho, a rural and impoverished nation in southern Africa known for its denim production. This tariff is part of a larger trend affecting various low-income African countries, with Madagascar facing a 47 percent tariff. These steep levies come at a time when many African nations are already struggling economically and have recently lost vital US aid, further exacerbating challenges in healthcare and disaster relief efforts across the continent.
Lesotho, a small, rural country in southern Africa, faces a staggering 50% tariff on exports to the US, highlighting the detrimental impact of Trump's trade policies.
With the new tariffs, Lesotho and other low-income African nations are grappling with economic challenges, given their reliance on exports while already facing poverty.
