The Minister of International Relations and Trade has said the realisation of African countries to trade among one another did not commence following U.S. President Donald Trump's imposed tariffs on African countries.

The Ministry of International Relations and Trade has acknowledged a new U.S. pilot programme requiring certain foreign nationals, including Namibians, to post a visa bond of about N$250,000 for tourist and business visas.
