South African officials are currently facing significant challenges following the imposition of a steep tariff by the United States. In response, they are seeking to negotiate a deal that could alleviate the financial burden.
However, there are concerns among some officials that the U.S. may demand the rollback of measures implemented to address the historical injustices stemming from apartheid. This situation has raised questions about the potential impact on South Africa's efforts to rectify past inequalities.
The outcome of these negotiations remains uncertain, as both sides navigate the complexities of trade relations and historical context.
