See Secretary Marco Rubio’s article on the future of #USA🇺🇲 foreign assistance: “We will favor those nations that have demonstrated both the ability and willingness to help themselves and will target our resources to areas where they can have a multiplier effect.” open.substack.com/pub/statedept/…

My #WeekendRead this #FourthOfJuly weekend is UWG Professor Emeritus John Ferling’s history of how the #USA🇺🇲’s fight for independence from the #UK🇬🇧 crown became a truly global contest with diplomatic intrigue & military action well beyond North America. #America250

An investigation in #Germany🇩🇪 by public broadcasters DW Deutsche Welle & Kontraste shows how a cabal of “refugees” claiming to flee war in #Somalia🇸🇴 abused their asylum to raise funds to stoke conflict in the Horn of Africa. What might a similar look in the #USA🇺🇲 turn up?🤔

According to the Financial Times, as #China🇨🇳 mine-buying hits the highest levels in more than a decade, “some military governments in #Africa have sought control of western mining assets” to hand over to Chinese firms “prepared to accept a less lucrative arrangment.” ft.com/content/51c201…

Without #Africa there would be little to celebrate on #WorldChocolateDay2025 since the continent supplies more than 70% of the world’s #cacao, source of #chocolate & other #cocoa products, with #CôtedIvoire🇨🇮 & #Ghana🇬🇭 the biggest producers followed by #Nigeria🇳🇬 & #Cameroon🇨🇲.

On top of the #LiberationDay reciprocal tariff rate of 30%, the additional tariff of 10% announced by President Donald J. Trump yesterday to counter the anti-#USA🇺🇲 policies of the #BRICS would push the total rate to which #SouthAfrica🇿🇦’s exports to America would be subject to a minimum of 40%.

See the letter today from President Donald J. Trump to Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 about the Aug. 1 return to the #LiberationDay 30% tariff rate on #SouthAfrica🇿🇦’s exports to the #USA🇺🇲 unless trade barriers to U.S. goods & services are eliminated. This rate doesn’t include the new 10% counter-#BRICS levy.

Reaffirmation by President Donald J. Trump of the additional 10% tariff on #BRICS members to counter the bloc’s anti-#USA🇺🇲 stance. For #SouthAfrica🇿🇦, this means a minimum tariff rate of 40% on exports to America, the country’s second-largest market and its top destination for manufactured goods.
