The Namibia-Cuba Friendship Association (NAMCUFA) has expressed opposition to a U.S. executive order to impose tariffs on countries that supply or sell oil to Cuba.

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 Southern African Development Community (SADC) says the reciprocal tariffs imposed by the U.S. nullify the benefits member states had under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

SADC is the latest regional community to react to the tariff hikes by U.S. President Donald Trump.
