“...that’s still operating after U.S. President Donald Trump announced in April he was slapping the impoverished nation with the highest tariffs in the world.
Many others have been forced to close down, with buyers spooked by the 50 percent tariff announcement even though they’ve been paused, for now.”
If Trump’s tariffs are not in effect, then why are they closed and NPR blaming it on Trump? See you can answer your own question in the same sentence.

Levi’s in Lesotho because they work cheaper than Americans, right?
What does the USA produce that Lesotho wants to buy. Not including free stuff? They have a life expectancy of 50 years and the economy is farming and manufacturing clothing for multi national corporations which is exported all over the world.
All US tariffs are in direct response to tariffs acting against US imports INTO the country. So, what is Lesotho blocking?
When we push a five dollar bill across the table and they slide back four, a fix is needful.
I care about American citizens and American workers.
Other nations can care about their own.
