The Sunday, 20 April episode of Carte Blanche investigates the tit-for-tat commerce tariff state of affairs.
South African economists, exporters and the battered rand are affected by whiplash.

What does this imply for industries like our multi-billion rand citrus business, the second largest on the planet?
Because the harvest is available in, farmers battle uncertainty and consultants warn that Trump might ship the world’s economic system right into a doom spiral.
