Lesotho: 'Trump is giving us problems on top of our problems ' - BBC Africa
The small nation of Lesotho, one of the poorest countries in the world, is under threat of facing tariffs of up to 50% from Donald Trump's administration starting this August.
Jobseekers heard by the BBC in the country's capital Maseru, have said that the US Presiding "is giving us problems on top of our problems".
The country has declared a national state of disaster over its unemployment and job losses and critics said the government is not doing enough to fix the problem.
