WASHINGTON (The Thursday Times) — US Sadr Donald Trump ne Congress ko bataya hai ke woh 1 January 2027 se South Africa aur Rwanda ko aise programme se nikalne ka irada rakhte hain jo African mulkon ko hazaron products United States ko duty-free export karne ki ijazat deta hai.
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer ne kaha ke African Growth and Opportunity Act ke saalana jaize mein pata chala ke donon mulk aise tareeqon par amal kar rahe hain jo is ki ahliyat ki sharait se mutasadim hain. "Trump administration kaam kar rahi hai taake hamare African shareek ahliyat ke meyar par poora utarne ke liye zaroori iqdamat karein," unhon ne kaha.
Administration ne US tijarat aur sarmayakari mein rukawatein, aur ilaqe mein qaumi salamti aur khariji siyasat ke mufadat se mutaalliq tashweesh ka hawala diya. Rwanda ke muamle mein insani huqooq, siyasi taaddud, qanoon ki hukmarani aur mazdooron ke huqooq ke masail bhi uthaye gaye.
Yeh iqdam us waqt samne aaya hai jab sirf aik hafta pehle US Treasury ne Rwanda ki wazarat-e-difa par mashriqi DR Congo mein musallah baghawat mein us ke mubayyana kirdar par pabandiyan lagayi thin. Treasury ka kehna hai ke wazarat ne hazaron fauji M23 baghiyon ke saath lardne ke liye bheje aur hathiyar, logistics aur training faraham ki.
South Africa ke saath taalluqat pichhle saal se tanao ka shikar hain, jab Trump ne White House mein Sadr Cyril Ramaphosa se mulaqat ke dauran us par "white genocide" ka ilzam lagaya, jise South Africa rad karta hai, aur Afrikaners ke liye US refugee route khol diya.
