The Trump administration has imposed substantial tariffs on Lesotho and other lower-income African nations, with Lesotho facing a staggering 50 percent levy. Such tariffs come amid existing economic struggles on the continent, particularly after the recent withdrawal of billions in aid that supported health care and disaster relief. The justification for these tariffs stems from the perception that the U.S. has been exploited in global trade. However, Lesotho, which primarily exports denim to the U.S., represents a small piece of the trade puzzle, further complicating the consequences of these tariffs for its economy.
The Trump administration's new tariffs on Lesotho and other African countries have raised concerns over their impact on already struggling economies.
With tariffs hitting as high as 50 percent, smaller African nations, like Lesotho, are left vulnerable in the global trade system.
