NEW @MEpiskopos & @dan_m_ford @QuincyInst : If the United States hopes to seize on energy demand in Africa to export its own technologies, or develop relationships for access to critical minerals, it had best move fast, Russia is already engaged. responsiblestatecraft.org/africa-russia-…

US announced both South Africa and Rwanda will be removed from AGOA eligibility beginning in the new year. The decision on SA isn't surprising - the admin has had SA in its crosshairs since the start. The decision on Rwanda is likely related to its continued backing of M23 in DRC
It is regrettable that South African policies led to the termination of AGOA for South Africa. This was a predictable and preventable outcome resulting from the rejection by South Africa's government of real concerns raised by the U.S. Government. I remain hopeful that we can find a path forward to address our larger bilateral concerns, but the South African government must understand the gravity of the situation. We know that if America succeeds, so too will South Africa. This is the partnership I will continue to pursue as expeditiously as possible.
