South Africa’s leading foreign policy bureaucrat is offering excuses for failure as the August 1 deadline for a trade deal with the U.S. looms, blaming an American focus on “non-trade” issues like Black Economic Empowerment (BEE). As Breitbart News has reported, South Africa faces a looming tariff of 30% on all exports — plus a surcharge of 10% applied to the BRICS alliance for its “anti-American” policies — in the absence of a separate deal.
