How will tariffs affect?
Experts say that the tariffs will be the most significant impact on the African economy and effectively cancel the economy Before privileges. At present, 32 African countries are in line with the program. Countries can leave the list like Niger and Gabon, who lost their benefits after a military coup.
AHA, which will end in September, created a duty-free access to more than 1,800 products from Saharan African countries and formed a spine of the US African trade policy for 25 years. This has been updated for 10 years in 2015. Musical instruments from Mozambique from Mozambique from Mauritania, Mozambique from Mauritania, Mali and Mozambique are among the products that reached the Arecers.
Although the operation is still officially operational, the Trump management is unknown, it is not known. Undoubtedly, Trump’s tariff ads “puts along the way to die”, Cheta Nwanze, Lagos-based risk analysis firm SBM intelligence SBM intelligence, told Al Jazea.
“African countries are not known to prepare strong geopolitical positions, so many people will try to catch it before, ie die, instead of dying,” he said.
The program has been taken by economists for years to open the US market to African manufacturers, although critics have serious production and packaging requirements prefer to more economies. Kenya’s sales of AHA, mainly weaving and clothing, in 2022 in 2001 to $ 603 million in 2001.
Which countries will influence the most?
South Africa and Nigeria are the best trade partners in the United States on the continent. South Africa, primarily exporting valuable stones, steel products and cars (mostly BMW from South Africa) to the United States. Nigeria exports crude oil and other oil products. In return, the United States exports crude oil, electrical goods and planes to South Africa and mainly leads vehicles and machines to Nigeria.
Ghana (cocoa and raw), Ethiopia (coffee) and Kenya (Textile, Tea), each year with Aham also notes a large trade volume of a large trade. Not listed as “criminals”, these countries are 10 percent of universal tariffs.
Heavy tariffs will have a very negative impact on various, but African manufacturers, and analysts can cause the increase in living expenses and the loss of work that affects the overall population.
“Increased export expenditures reduce the growing competitiveness, potentially reduce income and stabilized economy,” said SBM intelligence Nwanze al Jazeere.
Sectors such as agricultural and mineral production facilities are likely to be especially sensitive, because most African producers are not up to raw goods, finished products, up to the United States.
Nigeria is still in the throats of a living crisis, which causes high levels of hunger and poverty. Meanwhile, South Africa, the world’s highest unemployment in the world, consists of six out of 10 people outside of a job. Experts there estimated that the 25% quilt tariff will be “a worst scenario”.
Before the South African publication IOL announcement of Trump, Casey spray, an economist Anchor Capital, a 25 percent scenario, the country’s economic growth between 0.2 and 0.3 percent, he said. The country ended with 31 percent.
How will African countries react?
In a short time, countries like South Africa seem to have a relationship with Trump for more favorable terms.

In general, African peoples are likely to appeal to alternative trading partners such as China to prevent US tariffs. China has already overducted the United States as Africa’s best trade partner in Africa and represents one of the largest bilateral loans.
China, crude oil, iron ore, copper, such as copper, and increasingly focusing on agricultural products. On the other hand, products such as electronics, it also exports the products returned to the continent.
