South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa has opposed the new 30% tariff on imports from his country announced by US President Donald Trump, set to take effect on August 1.

• 30% tariff imposed, the only African nation affected by Trump's latest announcement.
• President Ramaphosa criticized the tariff as an inaccurate representation of trade data.
• The US is South Africa's second-largest trading partner, with key sectors, such as automotive and agriculture, facing significant trade barriers.
