During the first 100 days of his second term in office, US President Donald Trump has issued a series of executive orders that have unsettled the commodities market and prompted investors to hold off from making new investments in African economies. In the last three months, Trump has presented the world with “a ding-dong of measures and counter-measures," as Nigerian finance analyst Gbolahan Olojede put it.With such measures including increased tariffs on US imports from African nations (as elsewhere), this new regime has effectively called into question the future validity of preferential trade agreements with African states – such as the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which allows duty-free access, under strict conditions, to the US market for African goods."The reciprocal tariffs effectively nullify the preferences that sub-Saharan Africa countries enjoy under AGOA," South Africa's foreign and trade ministers said in a joint statement on 4 April.Jon Marks, editorial director of energy consultancy and news service African Energy, echoed this climate of uncertainty: “With the Trump presidency lurching from policy to policy, no one knows where they are. And it's very difficult to actually see order within this chaos."Africa braces for economic hit as Trump's tariffs end US trade perksHe told RFI he expects long periods of stasis, in which nothing actually happens, when people have been expecting immediate action.“That's going to be, I think, devastating for markets, devastating for investment. The outlook really is grim," he added.CommoditiesIn 2024, US exports to Africa were worth $32.1 billion. The US imported $39.5 billion worth of goods from Africa, the bulk of these being commodities such as oil and gas, as well as rare minerals including lithium, copper and cobalt.“The focus of the Trump administration is on critical minerals now, particularly in the [Democratic Republic of Congo], which is the Saudi Arabia of cobalt,” said Eric Olander, editor-in-chief of the China Global South Project news site.The US is aiming to build non-Chinese supply chains for its military technology.“The F-35s, supersonic fighter jets, need cobalt. When they look at critical minerals, they're not looking at that for renewable energy. They're looking at it specifically for weapons and for their defence infrastructure,” Olander explained.Collateral damageOn 2 April, President Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs on US imports worldwide, declaring that the US “has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by nations near and far” and calling this date a “Liberation Day” which will make “America wealthy again”.Stock markets immediately plummeted as a result of his announcement.On 9 April, Trump announced a 90-day pause – until mid-July – on these tariffs. Instead, a flat 10 percent rate will be applied on exports to the US.The exception was China, whose goods face even higher tariffs – 145 percent on most Chinese goods. Beijing retaliated with 125 percent levies on US imports.According to Olander, most African nations have so far been “insulated from the harsh impact of these tariffs” and from the consequences of what is, in effect, a trade war between two economic giants – China and the US.“South Africa, which accounts for a considerable amount of Africa's trade with the United States, is much more exposed to the effects of these tariffs than the rest of the continent,” he said.Africa FirstBut what if Trump's "America First" agenda was to be copied, asks Kelvin Lewis, editor of the Awoko newspaper in Sierra Leone.“Just like Trump is saying America First, we should think Sierra Leone First,” he told RFI. “He is teaching everyone how to be patriotic. We have no reason to depend on other people, to go cap in hand begging, because we have enough natural resources to feed and house all 9 million of us Sierra Leoneans.”He added: “If Africa says we close shop and we use our own resources for our benefit like Trump is telling Americans, I think the rest of the world would stand up and take notice.”Meanwhile, Trump believes his imposition of these increased tariffs has succeeded in bringing countries to the negotiating table.“I'm telling you, these countries are calling us up, kissing my ass. They are dying to make a deal. Please, please sir, make a deal. I'll do anything. I'll do anything, sir,” Trump said on 8 April at a Republican Congress committee dinner in Washington.New marketsOlander believes that the trade war instigated by Trump has resulted in more risks than opportunities for Africa's vulnerable countries.“But, there is a lot more activity now diplomatically between African countries and other non-US countries,” he added.“Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed from Ethiopia was in Vietnam, as was Burundi's president. There's more engagement between Uganda and Indonesia, more trade activity and discussions between Brazil and Africa.”Foreign ministers from the BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) met in Rio de Janeiro on 28 April to coordinate their response to Trump's trade policy.However, securing markets for non-US exports is a challenging task. It took Kenya 10 years “of steady diplomacy” to get China to fund the extension of the Standard Gauge Railway to the Ugandan border, according to Olander.Kenyan president visits China as country pivots away from the US“Whether it's in China, Indonesia, Brazil or elsewhere, it takes time. Exporting into developed G7 markets means facing an enormous number of hurdles, like agricultural restrictions,” he continued. “Then, in the global south, Angola is not going to sell bananas to Brazil, right?”“Trump's trade policies have actually been to depress the oil price,” said Marks. “The price has been under the psychologically low threshold of $70 a barrel.He explains it is because of the demand destruction Trump's policies have placed on global trading.Demand destruction means that people are not investing, “ Marks said. “It's really a period of wait-and-see.”“This will affect prices very profoundly. One of the ironies is that although a lower dollar means that African economies should be able to export their goods for more money, a declining dollar amidst market uncertainties means that investors are not going to be rushing to come into Africa.”

Send us a textThis week, I offer you a barefoot sermon from the battlefield of economic memory. A walk from Hamilton to Trump. From Ricardo to Argentina. From Abraham Lincoln's top hat to the red-capped defiance of tariff diplomacy. A retelling of the American experiment through its most potent and most misunderstood weapon: the tariff.I argue here that Donald Trump, however clumsy and chaotic, reignited a long-dormant Hamiltonian flame. Like Lincoln before him, who used tariffs not only to industrialize the North but to bleed the profits from slavery's Southern engine, Trump reached for tariffs not as isolation, but as revolt. The goal was disruption of the quiet exploitation that still oils the gears of the global economy.We begin with Hamilton. In 1791, he laid the blueprint for industrial sovereignty. While Britain imagined America as a spice colony, exporting raw goods and importing refinement, Hamilton saw something else. He saw factories. Foundries. Credit. Fire. His tariffs were not walls, but scaffolds. They wrapped the infant industries of the North in protection until they could stand on their own.Then came Ricardo, bond guru, master of the ledger. He preached comparative advantage, but assumed capital stayed still. That the factory would never chase the lowest wage. That trade was neutral. That power did not intervene. Hamilton saw the flaw long before it became scripture. Ricardo's theory, elegant on paper, became a passport for colonial subjugation. Had America followed it, she might have become another Argentina. Rich in soil. Poor in ambition. Governed by landlords. Exporting the future in exchange for someone else's present.Build the factory. Raze the plantation. Lincoln saw it in cotton. Trump saw it in Asian factories. In both cases, the profit was buried in the poison, and each man, in his own era and fashion, had the rare courage to call it by its name.To strike slavery and build a more enduring republic, Lincoln and maybe Trump, did not reach first for cannonballs or proclamations but rather they reached for the balance sheet. They understood that if you make the ledgers bleed, the system follows. That is their courage.Hugh⬇️ Subscribe on Patreon or Substack for full episodes ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/HughHendryhttps://hughhendry.substack.comhttps://www.instagram.com/hughhendryofficialhttps://blancbleustbarts.comhttps://www.instagram.com/blancbleuofficial⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a five star review and comment on Apple Podcasts!

Craig Barry, Lead Ethylene and Derivatives Consultant and Amanda Richardson, Global Olefins Analytics Manager for Argus Media will discuss the current trends of US ethylene and ethylene based derivative exports   Unlike ethylene which requires special ships and storage, ethylene derivatives can be shipped to many destinations throughout the world at a significantly lower cost.    In 2023, the US exported ethylene derivatives to over 100 countries, compared to only a handful of countries importing ethylene from the US.  New large gas carriers will reduce the freight cost to export ethylene, but the capital cost for export and import infrastructure will remain high.   Argus is forecasting the US will add 2 million ton of new ethylene derivative capacity by 2028.    This podcast is the final episode of a three-part series addressing key market dynamics, the challenges faced by the petrochemical industry, and the future of sustainable practices and investments in the sector.    You can listen to episode one ‘Strengths and weaknesses of Europe's ARG ethylene pipeline' and episode two ‘Energy and commodity podcasts Infrastructure & Shipping Dynamics of Supplying Ethylene from US to Europe'.   Further details and additional insights are available from Argus' Light Olefins services including:  Argus Propylene   Argus Olefins Margins   Argus Propylene Analytics

Recently, I had the opportunity to answer some insightful questions from listeners on my live radio show, and I wanted to share those discussions here. We tackled everything from the fundamental principles of building a successful business to the intricacies of exporting charcoal. Let's dive in! Chimisi Business Wisdom: Systems, Timeframes, and Trust First up, Chimisi called in with a powerful message: business isn't as daunting as many people believe. He emphasized that success hinges on implementing solid systems and frameworks, then consistently and diligently applying them. It's about breaking down the complex into manageable steps and sticking to the plan. My advice echoed Chimisi's sentiment, encouraging listeners to actively seek knowledge. This could involve tuning into radio shows and podcasts, conducting thorough online research, and pursuing internships or apprenticeships. Practical experience is invaluable. Chimisi and I also highlighted critical aspects of business management: * Cash Management: Meticulously track income and expenses, and be mindful of drawdown levels. * Realistic Timeframes: Understand that building a viable business takes time, typically two to three years. * Trustworthy Partnerships: Surround yourself with reliable individuals to foster a supportive and flexible environment. Essentially, Chimisi's message was one of empowerment: business is achievable with the right mindset and approach. Francisco's Charcoal Export Inquiry: Feasibility and Regulations Next, Francisco from Lugbe inquired about the feasibility of the charcoal export business. He wanted to know if it was viable and also about the legality of the charcoal trade itself. My response was that there is a strong overseas demand for charcoal, particularly in the Middle East and China, for fuel and recreational purposes. This demand makes the business both feasible and potentially lucrative. However, navigating the complexities of international trade is crucial. Key considerations for charcoal exporters include: * Payment Terms: Familiarize yourself with international payment structures, such as deposits and letters of credit. * Contracting Terms: Understand the intricacies of international trade contracts. * Registration Requirements: Comply with all necessary regulations from the Ministry of Trade. * Government Policy: Acknowledge the potential for policy fluctuations regarding charcoal trading due to environmental concerns like deforestation. Regarding the question of charcoal being contraband, I acknowledged the government's fluctuating policies. While charcoal trading is sometimes permitted and taxed, concerns about deforestation and climate change can lead to restrictions. My recommendation to Francisco, and anyone considering charcoal export, was to consult with a specialist and thoroughly research international payment and contract terms. Key Takeaways Both Chimisi and Francisco's questions highlighted the importance of: * Knowledge Acquisition: Continuously learning and adapting to the business landscape. * Practical Application: Putting knowledge into action with consistent effort. * Due Diligence: Thoroughly researching and understanding the complexities of your chosen industry. * Expert Consultation: Seeking guidance from specialists when needed. Whether you're building a local business or venturing into international trade, these principles provide a solid foundation for success. I hope this discussion has been helpful and informative!

The medical aid programs established by socialist states nuance the Cold War dichotomy regarding the transfer of knowledge. The latest RevDem Democracy and Culture podcast with Bogdan Cristian Iacob explores the legacy of socialist regimes in the transnational circulation of expertknowledge during the Cold War, with a particular focus on medical aid.Bogdan Cristian Iacobis a researcher at the Nicolae Iorga Institute of History at the Romanian Academy and at the Institute for Habsburg and Balkan Studies at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His work focused on the relationship between state socialist countries and the Global South, the transnational circulation of expert knowledge, and the legacy of state socialism's global entanglements in shaping the transformation of Eastern Europe. He is a co-author of the collective monographSocialism Goes Global.During its initial phase, the historiography of the socialist states labeled Eastern Europe as a disconnected region from the international transfer of knowledge. In this logic, the only possible knowledge exchange was from Western to Eastern Europe, due to the Iron Curtain. However, this initial paradigm has since been revisited and by now, historians provide amuch more nuanced perspective on this issue. Revisionist and post-revisionist historiography emphasize that Eastern and Central Europe were never completely isolated. Instead, exchanges, influences and mobilities occurred across threecore geographical axes – firstly, within the socialist bloc, another one with the West and finally, with the Global South. The decision-making process regarding international collaborations was far more complex than the Cold War dichotomy, as it involved domestic political pressures, as well as economic, social, and public health challenges. Bogdan Cristian Iacob favors this approach. Throughout his research, he sheds light on the public health programs created by the socialist states, situating them in the context of decolonization. This approach is highly relevant as it reframes Eastern Europe as an active participant in global public health strategies.Infectious disease eradication - a battlefield?The eradication of infectious diseases was a central debate in the post-war socialist states, as Bogdan Cristian Iacob argues in this podcast. He highlights the example of malaria. This disease was officially eradicated in Romania in 1963 and presented by the leadership as a unique and modern healthcare program, with the program later implemented in other countries. This case is relevant within the broader framework. The scope of malaria, typhus, and smallpox eradication was beyond individual countries, particular regions or one political regime. Based on such initial achievements, countries that engaged in the public healthcare competition exported medical knowledge to the postcolonial world.  Initially, in the 1950s the reason for this‘export' was anticolonial solidarity for the newly independent countries. Yet, in the 1960s, the medical assistance programs from Eastern Europe were no longer driven by mere solidarity. Instead, competition emerged, as BogdanCristian Iacob argues. The reasons included access to naturalresources and new markets, as well as the emphasis on the supplying country's modernity. Within this competition, postcolonial governments leveraged rivalries between donor countries sending medical aid and healthcare experts toappeal to the 'modernity ego' of state socialist officials, as Iacob points out.Healthcare support - paternalism or solidarity?While postcolonial solidarity was one of the main driversof healthcare support from Eastern European countries, it did not prevent the emergence of hierarchies. As this podcast demonstrates, Eastern European healthcare experts often perceived postcolonial countries as economically underdeveloped and culturally backward. The paradox is that socialist medicine demonstrated its own form of paternalism that replicated colonial practices.Often, doctors failed to distance themselves racializing their patients.Balancing domestic public health and expertise exportIacob argues that three elements dominated thepublic healthcare competition: anti-colonial solidarity, regional economic interests, and ideological rivalry. This, in turn, created a problem in the mid-1970s, as medical workers were deployed to certain postcolonial countrieswhile domestic healthcare systems faced staff shortages. As a result, ‘healthcare export' became both a political tool for legitimation and a source of revenue. One of the best examples of this is Cuba, as this podcast shows.RelevanceAccording to Iacob, this approach is relevant for both the historiography of socialist states and the history of medicine, as it highlights the multiple vectors of knowledgetransfer during the Cold War. However, within this debate, some questions remain unanswered. Iacob suggests three key questions for further examination. First, how do we further assess the relationship between Eastern European medicine and practices of racialization at home and those in global context? Second, how did global circulations of socialist medicine affect or influence specific medical fieldsback in the region? Lastly, how might the archival openings in the Global South might emphasize the agency of the postcolonial countries and change our current understanding about socialism and disease and in more broad terms, aboutemancipation?

HortWeek spoke toa range of industry experts at IPM Essen trade show 2025 on how to export.Andy Jeanes of Guernsey Clematis says planning, procedure and relationships with customs and shipping agents and phyto inspectors are the keys to successful exporting.The USA could become an issue. Soiless plants are air freighted to the US but there are concerns about 25% Trump import levies, as there has been for Canada and Mexico.Commercial Horticulture Association's Susan Fairley says research the target market, establish demand, identify market trend data, plan a strategy, find the right country, identify channels, get staff trained and ready, build relationships, use Department of Business and Trade webinars, be patient, consider costs and make sure you know your IP, customs paperwork, credit check customers and get the right logistics in place. Cenrral Asian countries are places of growth.Tim Briercliffe of AIPH adds that understanding your target market and how easy it is to reach it are important. Systems such as Floriday can be a way in. The UK has not been strong at exporting as businesses concentrate on the home market. You need something new, special and different. He says potential levies are challenges, while exchange rate problems can be huge. Plant health issues like false codling moth are becoming bigger threats to international trade. Green cities are the areas to look for growth.David Austin's head of international partner networks Kate Porter said selling licences rather than plants is the rose grower's way forward, post-Brexit. There is US growing base so it is the brand that is exported. Australia is a growing market.Air-Pot's Suzie and Jamie Single say there is a team of partners around the world, in Europe distributors and otherwise consultants working on commission. Taiwan is a growing market, as is Switzerland and the US. The CHA help Air-Pot with exports, particularly via IPM Essen. The Scottish Government is helpful, she said, while a new Air-Pot 7 product, endorsed by ex-Kew arboretum head Tony Kirkham, has created a wave of publicity for the company. Hosted on Acast.

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're continuing our discussion about the controversial comments from Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy about importing foreign Indian cheap labor slaves to replace hardworking Americans. But this time, we're also shining a spotlight on Elon Musk's alarming behavior on X (formerly Twitter). While touting "free speech," Musk has been banning and demonetizing voices who dare to challenge him or his globalist agenda.Why are these so-called leaders abandoning America First principles? And what does it mean for the future of free speech when even self-proclaimed champions of the First Amendment silence dissent?

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're discussing the shocking comments from Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who seem to think the American people are too "dumb" to compete in the workforce. Instead of investing in American workers, they're advocating for importing a massive influx of workers from India to replace us. This is not America First, and it's certainly not what the American people voted for on November 5th. Tune in as we unpack why this mindset undermines our nation's sovereignty and the hardworking Americans who built this country.—https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Kiwi winemakers are anxiously waiting to see if and when they'll be hit by high tarriffs exporting into the United States - following the election of Donald Trump. President elect Trump campaigned on introducing tariffs of up to 20 percent on all Imported Goods - as part of his America First economic policy. If he goes through with the election promise it could hit our exporters hard; and with the US market accounting for some 40 percent of New Zealand's wine exports it could be devastating for the industry here. New Zealand Winegrowers Chief Executive Officer Philip Gregan spoke to Susana Lei'ataua.

Robert (“Bob”) Sinner is President of SB&B Foods, the largest grower of “identity preserved (IP), non-GMO food-grade” soybeans in North Dakota. In this episode, Bob tells us how his family's 5th generation farm identified a need for soybeans in Asia and how he pursued and won that business.  Bob's father George served as governor of North Dakota from 1985 to 1992. During his tenure, George Sinner resolutely tried to attract Japanese investment into the state, which inspired Bob to help US companies export into Japan to develop relationships and accelerate the creation of new opportunities.  To start, Bob embarked upon a trade mission to Japan, alongside a hired interpreter. Once there, he found mature markets looking for a consistent and reliable supply of soy beans, the agricultural product needed to produce uniform product like tofu and soy milk.  At Rapport International, we encourage our clients to employ interpreters as “cultural conduits” – native-speaking interpreters are valuable sources of in-country information. In that vein, upon his return, Bob enlisted the help of North Dakota State University professor Dr. Sam Chang, originally from Taiwan, who had previous experience working with soybeans.  Together with a visiting Taiwanese trade team, the group conducted sensory testing, a scientific method for evaluating a food's characteristics – taste, texture, odor, and appearance, for example – to determine which product was of the highest quality. After their visit, the Taiwanese group donated the sensory testing equipment to the N. Dakota State University, which is still in use today!  SB&B is now operating in 16 countries, most of them within Asia because of the high per capita consumption of soybeans. Its customers manufacture over 25 different foods – including the Japanese “natto,” a healthy, fermented food that helps with heart and brain functioning.  Bob says their success is due simply to always paying attention to what the customers want and catering to those wants. The best marketing, he adds, is accomplished by:  Being yourself  Staying honest  Treating people like you want to be treated  Knowing your products  Understanding local culture  Building trusted relationships  His biggest, ongoing challenge involves shipping containers. Most containers coming into the US are 40 feet long and carry bulky yet lightweight consumer products into metropolitan areas.  Shipping heavy agricultural products from a rural area to Asia, where they prefer smaller containers, presents a twofold problem. First, containers are parked in US metro areas and require transport to rural areas. Second, the smaller containers Asian buyers want are closer to 20 feet long, half the size of standard containers, because they unload within smaller and tighter spaces. Bob continues to work with US and foreign officials to find solutions.  His best advice to new exporters:  Understand the market  Operate under a set of core values that include integrity, honesty, fairness, and trust  Be patient yet persistent in building trust  Keep educating yourself  Reap the rewards!  Listen to the full episode to learn more.    Links Email: Rsinner@SB-B.com  Website: https://sb-b.com/   LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/bob-sinner-a058322a     Connect with Wendy - https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendypease/  Music: Fiddle-De-Dee by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano interviews Steve Gillan from Project Civica to explore the Common Sense Contract with New York. They dive into how New York's government has spiraled out of control since Democrats took full control of the legislature in 2018. The Common Sense Contract offers a 7-point pledge for 2024 candidates to restore sanity to New York. From ending sanctuary state policies to repealing bail reform, protecting parental rights, implementing voter ID, lowering costs, stopping authoritarian mandates, and using New York's abundant resources to create high-paying jobs, this contract seeks to return power to the people. They also discuss how this model can be exported to other blue states.   Episode Highlights:  The 7 pledges of the Common Sense Contract and their impact on New York voters How the contract can end harmful policies like bail reform and sanctuary state status Exporting the Common Sense Contract to other blue states   More Information If you enjoyed this episode and found it useful, please give The P.A.S.

NTD has produced a special TV series adapted from the book “How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World,” by the editorial team of “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.” Watch the sixth episode, “Exporting Revolution Pt. 2,” here. The communist cult's spread across the world is fueled by violence and deception. While communist superpowers, like the Soviet Union or China, have used military force to impose their political system upon weaker countries, it should not be forgotten that communist regimes' violent conquests were aided—and, to a great extent, made possible by—their effective use of propaganda. In recent years, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has continued this strategy by pouring billions into its Grand External Propaganda Program. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
