One thing the United States doesn’t want to admit about South Africa

• US extends AGOA trade deal with South Africa until end of 2028
• The extension is a win for South Africa, with many exporters benefiting from the duty-free access to the US market, and also for the US, which has its own trade issues to work through
• The two-year extension is a 'mild reprieve' for South African businesses, which had hoped for a longer extension to bring investor confidence to the export industry
