The U.S. and the European Commission cemented a trade deal at a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at Mr Trump's golf course resort in Scotland on 27 July 2025.

US tariffs put 30,000 South African jobs at risk, officials say
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — U.S. reciprocal tariffs have put an estimated 30,000 jobs at risk, South African authorities said Monday, four days before a 30% U.S. tariff on most imports from South Africa kicks in. South Africa was slapped with one of the highest tariff rates by its third-largest trading partner — after China and the EU — creating uncertainty for the future of some export industries and catapulting a scramble for new markets outside the U.S. Tariffs come into effect on Aug. 8. In an update on mitigation measures, a senior government official warned that an estimated 30,000 jobs were in jeopardy if the response to the higher tariffs was 'mismanaged'. 'We base this on the ongoing consultations that we have with all the sectors of the economy from automotive, agriculture and all the other sectors that are going to be impacted,' said Simphiwe Hamilton, director-general of the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition. South Africa is already grappling with stubbornly high unemployment rates. The official rate was 32,9% in the first quarter of 2025 according to StatsSA, the national statistical agency, while the youth unemployment rate increased from 44,6% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 46,1% in the first quarter of 2025. In his weekly public letter on Monday, President Cyril Ramaphosa said that South Africa must adapt swiftly to the tariffs since they could have a big impact on the economy, the industries that rely heavily on exports to the U.S. and the workers they employ. 'As government, we have been engaging the United States to enhance mutually beneficial trade and investment relations. All channels of communication remain open to engage with the US,' he said. 'Our foremost priority is protecting our export industries. We will continue to engage the US in an attempt to preserve market access for our products.' President Donald Trump has been highly critical of the country's Black-led government over a new land law he claims discriminates against white people. Negotiations with the U.S. have been complicated and unprecedented, according to South Africa's ministers, who denied rumors that the lack of an ambassador in the U.S affected the result of the talks. The Trump administration expelled Ebrahim Rasool, South Africa's ambassador to Washington, in mid-March, accusing him of being a 'race-baiting politician' who hates Trump. International Relations Minister Ronald Lamola highlighted that even countries with ambassadors in the U.S. and allies of Washington had been hard hit with tariffs. However, Lamola confirmed that the process of appointing a replacement for Rasool was 'at an advanced stage'. The U.S. accounts for 7.5% of South Africa's global exports. However, several sectors, accounting for 35% of exports to the U.S., remain exempt from the tariffs. These include copper, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, lumber products, certain critical minerals, stainless steel scrap and energy products remain exempted from the tariffs. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. The government has been scrambling to diversify South Africa's export markets, particularly by deepening intra-African trade. Countries across Asia and the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia have been touted as opportunities for high-growth markets. The government said it had made significant progress in opening vast new markets like China and Thailand, securing vital protocols for products like citrus. The government has set up an Export Support Desk to aid manufacturers and exporters in South Africa search for alternate markets. While welcoming the establishment of the Export Support Desk, an independent association representing some of South Africa's biggest and most well-known businesses called for a trade crisis committee to be established that brings together business leaders and government officials, including from the finance ministry. Business Leadership South Africa said such a committee would ensure fast, coordinated action to open new markets, provide financial support, and maintain employment. 'U.S. tariffs pose a severe threat to South Africa's manufacturing and farming sectors, particularly in the Eastern Cape. While businesses can eventually adapt, urgent temporary support is essential,' said BLSA in a statement.

LILLEY: Carney has failed to deliver on what he promised Canadians
He promised that he knew Trump and how to deal with him, so far, Mark Carney hasn't lived up to the hype. Get the latest from Brian Lilley straight to your inbox Prime Minister Mark Carney fans himself while he marches in the Vancouver Pride Parade in Vancouver, on Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025. Photo by ETHAN CAIRNS / THE CANADIAN PRESS How did Canada get to this point? We went from being a trade priority, close to a deal with Washington to not having a deal and not being a priority.

Create Account Friday came and went and there was no trade deal with Donald Trump. Mark Carney's point man on Canada-U.S. relations, Dominic LeBlanc left Washington for Moncton, New Brunswick, a clear sign that talks were not continuing in a serious way. The Americans don't take weekends off if things are going well. Last weekend, Trump was announcing a trade deal with the European Union from his golf course in Scotland, while his top trade negotiator Jamieson Greer was in Sweden for talks with China. This past week in Washington, Canadian officials may have been in the American capital, but they weren't meeting with top American officials. People like Greer were busy elsewhere and we were relegated. Meanwhile, Carney couldn't get Trump to return his phone call. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

'We haven't spoken to Canada today. He's called and we'll see,' Trump said last Thursday when asked about talks with Canada. On Sunday, LeBlanc told CBS's Face the Nation that Carney still hadn't spoken with Trump, but he expected they would in the coming days. This is really bad for Carney, both in terms of what it means economically for Canada but also compared to what he promised voters. 'I know the president, I've dealt with the president in the past in my previous roles when he was in his first term, and I know how to negotiate,' Carney said during the Liberal leadership race that made him PM. Other countries are getting deals, and we are getting higher tariffs, but it didn't have to be this way. When Premier Doug Ford went to Washington for meetings in March, he heard directly from Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick that Canada was a priority. They told Ford the April 2 tariffs would come into place and then the Americans would seek to negotiate deals, and Canada was at the top of the list. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. LeBlanc was in that meeting, so was Carney's now Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne. Though maybe Champagne didn't hear the message because according to several who are privy to what happened in the room, Champagne was busy trying to explain to the Americans how wrong they were and had to be reined in. RECOMMENDED VIDEO In early June, talk of a deal coming shortly, before the G7 in Kananaskis was rampant. Officials in Ottawa didn't deny talks of a deal happening quickly, in fact, they fed into that idea. The deal didn't happen before the G7 but while Carney and Trump were holding a media availability at the start of the summit, Trump said a deal could still be reached quickly, perhaps even that day. A deal didn't happen in Kananaskis either and one hasn't happened since. So much for Mark Carney being the 'Trump whisperer' as CNN described him, or Carney knowing how to get a deal with Trump. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Right now, his knowledge of President Trump seems weak, his negotiating skills appear absent. I know many Canadians, across all political stripes simply hate Trump and appear willing to cheer on anyone who stands against him. My email inbox and social media feeds are regularly filled with people saying you can't negotiate with a lunatic, meaning Trump, and no one can get a deal with him. Well, Keir Starmer the British PM got a deal. European Union President Ursula von der Leyen got a deal with Trump, one that includes buying billions of dollars' worth of liquefied natural gas that the Europeans asked us to sell them and that the Liberal government said there was no business case for. Mark Carney told Canadians he was the man with the plan, the man with the experience to deliver, but so far, he's failing. Read More Celebrity Sunshine Girls Sex Files Relationships Columnists
