A garment factory in Lesotho, which has produced Trump-branded golf shirts, may have to soon shut down following the massive import taxes, or tariffs, imposed by the US government earlier this year.
The small, southern African kingdom was hit with "reciprocal" tariffs of 50% – a higher rate than any other country – when they were announced by US President Donald Trump in April.
Although they have since been put on hold, Trump says they will be reimposed this Friday, 1 August, along with other countries around the world, unless a separate deal is reached.
Uncertainty over the future of the country’s clothes industry is one reason why Lesotho declared a national "state of disaster" earlier this month in order to speed up job-creation.
