Lesotho hardest hit as new US tariffs rattle Africa - Bangkok Post

Quick Summary:

JOHANNESBURG — The small African kingdom of Lesotho said Thursday it would "urgently" send a government delegation to the United States to plead its case after Washington imposed 50% tariffs on its imports, the highest for a single nation.

The clothing industry is the largest employer in the tiny kingdom of around 2.3 million people, which the US administration says is among "the worst offenders" with high tariffs on US imports.

But senior Kenyan foreign affairs official Korir Sing'Oei said that, as AGOA falls under a Congressional framework, the new tariffs should not be applicable until the deal lapses or is repealed the US Congress.
