South African minister meets US representative in push for trade deal

South African Trade Minister Parks Tau has met U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer for talks, Tau’s office said on Friday, as Africa’s biggest economy tries to reach a deal to roll back steep U.S. tariffs.

U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 30% on imports from South Africa last month after President Cyril Ramaphosa’s government made several unsuccessful attempts to secure a trade agreement.
