đź“Ś President Donald Trump has announced new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, sparking concerns over global trade disruptions.
âś” Canada & Mexico face 25% tariffs on most exports.
âś” Chinese goods will be taxed an additional 10%.
âś” Retaliation from affected nations could send shockwaves across global markets.
đź’ˇ How does this affect Africa?
The U.S. has yet to impose new restrictions on African exports, but Africa’s major trade partners—China, Canada, and Mexico—will be hit hard.
🚨 Potential consequences for Africa:
âś” Weakened demand for African raw materials if China scales back manufacturing.
âś” More expensive goods for African importers if Chinese suppliers pass on the tariff burden.
âś” A stronger U.S. dollar, making it harder for African nations to service their dollar-denominated debt.
