(FILES) A general view of workers carrying out their duties at the Afri-Expo Textile Factory in Maseru, Lesotho on March 19, 2025. The small African kingdom of Lesotho feared the worst for its textile industry on April 3, 2025 after US President Donald Trump imposed 50-percent tariffs on its imports, the highest for a single nation.
Other African countries hit with Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” above the new baseline rate of 10 percent include Madagascar (47 percent), Mauritius (40 percent), Botswana (37 percent), Equatorial Guinea (30 percent) and South Africa (30 percent).
But the mountain kingdom, which the US administration says is among “the worst offenders” with high tariffs on US imports, will be particularly hard hit as it is reliant on exports of mostly textiles, including jeans. (Photo by Roberta Ciuccio / AFP)(AFP)
