US Lawmakers Call for the US-Africa Trade Summit to be Moved
A group of U.S. lawmakers are calling for the U.S.-Africa trading summit to be moved from South Africa in response to the country's “deepening military relationship” with Russia. In a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other senior officials, lawmakers suggested that South Africa is in danger of losing its benefits from Washington’s trade program, the African Growth and Opportunity Act. For more, VOA’s Esther Githui-Ewart spoke to Marisa Lorenco, a South African political analyst.
