Countries across the globe have responded differently to US President Donald Trump’s latest tariffs.
Kenya has downplayed their impact, noting that it remains among nations with the lowest tariff rates, grouped alongside the UK, Egypt, Morocco, Uganda, Tanzania, and Ethiopia.
China, on the other hand, has vowed to implement countermeasures to protect its economic interests. Meanwhile, the European Union has warned that the new taxes could trigger an "uncertainty spiral," causing "dire consequences" for millions worldwide.
South Africa has expressed openness to negotiating with the U.S. to remove the "punitive" measures while maintaining trade relations.
