WTO insider explains why Trump created Tariff chaos; China’s retaliation and how SA needs to respond

This is a must-watch interview for anyone trying to make sense of the chaos wrought by US President Donald Trump’s moves on tariffs. Johann Human spent his career in International Trade, including 17 years as an SA secondment to the Geneva-based World Trade Organisation. He provides a rare insider’s view of what is happening today - how the massive trade imbalances were always destined to end in the kind of explosion we are witnessing. He also shares some practical advice on how South Africa needs to position itself to avoid becoming collateral damage in a trade war caused by decades of Chinese outsmarting the Americans.
