US Firms in South Africa Call for ‘Cool Heads’ in Trump Spat

  • Over 600 US companies have operations in the country
  • Frayed relations could thwart extension of vital US trade pact

The head of the American Chamber of Commerce in South Africa said a feud with US President Donald Trump risks a strategically important relationship that benefits both nations.

“This is a time for cool heads,” said AmCham South Africa President Kuseni Dlamini. “We need a carefully thought-out response, especially from South Africa.”
