South Africa is preparing to present a new trade proposal to President Trump, with hopes of easing tensions. The nation anticipates that Trump might end the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), crucial for 32 African nations, due to its scheduled expiration this year. Despite hoping for AGOA's renewal, South Africa plans to propose a bilateral trade agreement focused on sectors like energy. Officials argue that AGOA has been significant for economic confidence and stability in South Africa, and any changes could greatly impact the continent's largest economy.
