Trump Extends U.S. Sanctions Against Zimbabwe
U.S. President Donald Trump has extended sanctions against Zimbabwe for another year, saying that the new government's policies continue to pose an "unusual and extraordinary" threat to the American foreign policy. The renewal comes despite calls by African leaders, including South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa, for the sanctions to be lifted to give the country a chance to recover from its economic crisis.
