LIVE YOUR LIFE ON YOUR OWN TERMS

[Paul Berkowitz @paulyberk]

Guys. The US administration is also punishing Rwanda through AGOA for standing up to them. They're punishing Canada through trade for the same thing. Their trading approach is aggressive, maximalist and bullying. The loss of AGOA access was probably going to happen.

[Christian the Expat @ExpatInSA]

As South Africa gets kicked out of AGOA, remember to thank these clowns for making it happen.

[Kobus Van Der Merwe @OomKobusVDM]

Only white racist shits will lobby for SA to be taken off AGOA and then blame ANC 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the true 30 percenters

Where’s Lamola here?

[Nolwazi Tusini @NolwAzi_Tusini]

As the news of South Africa’s suspension from AGOA settles, remember to treat AfriSol and AfriMaga’s with the contempt they deserve. They are trying to blame this on our government when their lies are what got us here. Turn them into pariahs, that is what traitors deserve.

@DeanLeGrice1 @Riaan256 Resorting to insults won’t change the fact that you stupid

[Prime Minister of RSA @John_Mphatsoe]

Congratulations to @afriforum, @VFPlus and @solidariteit for mobilising USA to kick South Africa out of AGOA👌👌👌🥳🥳🥳

[Paskido @Im_Pascal]

@DeanLeGrice1 @CheetahPlains Is he lying?

Is that all you can say?

[Lethabo @CheetahPlains]

Trump Administration is literally lecturing South Africa about corruption 🙄. Trump's kids have gotten richer since he became President, people buy pardons etc

[Geoffrey York @geoffreyyork]

South Africa, in response to AGOA termination, says it had offered fresh concessions to US trade officials in their latest talks, but the Trump administration had raised "new issues" that it had never tabled before. (If so: pretty difficult to negotiate under those conditions.)

[Kristian Schmidt @EUAmbSchmidt]

For EU-South Africa trade relations, it’s Business As Usual: Balanced, Reciprocal, Growing, Reliable. You’re welcome. 🇪🇺🫱🏻‍🫲🏾🇿🇦 @the_dtic @DIRCO_ZA @EUinSA @CCordeiro_EU @SADC_News

[Carl Worker @carlworker]

This vindictiveness is unbecoming.

[Paskido @Im_Pascal]

@DuncanGeach @WandileSihlobo These policies weren’t there when Agoa was initially agreed upon that we be part of it? Care to explain?

[Paskido @Im_Pascal]

@forsythhomes @WandileSihlobo @Anc You call yourself Prof, what a shame.

[Justin Sandefur @JustinSandefur]

"Successive US administrations have used AGOA eligibility as a stick to discipline African governments. It's unclear if this works, and very clear it imposes big costs on African economies."

SA reaction on AGOA #sabcnews

[Ray Mahlaka @RayMahlaka]

IMPORTANT: The removal doesn't mean SA loses access to the US market. It means South African exports will no longer enter duty-free under Agoa & will instead face the US’s standard tariff regime, the normal duties applied to countries without a preferential trade arrangement.

[Jonathan Berger @Jon_M_Berger]

"[T]he Trump Administration is deeply concerned by barriers to U.S. trade and investment, corruption, and threats to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests." In others words, the Trump Administration is deeply concerned about the conduct of the Trump Administration.

[Paskido @Im_Pascal]

@Uncle_Thaps Please explain how

[Silences of NGO Discourses @phethani4]

I am so happy we are out of AGOA
