South Africa responds to being expelled from AGOA

South Africa has been given a 60-day ultimatum to address US concerns over its participation in the African Growth and Opportunity Act, with its removal from the program due to issues including tariff barriers, corruption, and international security concerns. The country's relatively small global export market, accounting for just 1% of its total exports, highlights the significance of its bilateral trade with the US, valued at $28.8 billion and supporting 134,600 jobs.
