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 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.
