This Week in Trade #8: Tariff Moves, Compliance Risks, and Competing for Africa

Season 1 · Episode 8

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 • Duration 05:04

🌍 Tariffs rise, compliance tightens, and the race for Africa accelerates.

Welcome back to This Week in Trade Briefcast, your fast, focused roundup of the global trade shifts shaping policy, supply chains, and business decisions.

This week, trade tensions resurface as the US signals new tariffs on EU autos while offering relief to UK whiskey. At the same time, enforcement risks are climbing. Vietnam faces a 30-day clock on potential Section 301 action over intellectual property concerns, and the EU is pushed onto a higher US watch list.

In Europe, long-awaited clarity arrives on the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), with confirmed timelines and e-commerce now firmly in scope.

Zooming out, a bigger trend is unfolding: a growing global competition to secure trade ties and critical resources across Africa. The EU updates its GSP framework, the US reviews AGOA with a supply chain lens, and China dramatically expands tariff-free access to 53 African countries. Meanwhile, the EU Mercosur interim agreement provisionally enters into force.

💡 Key takeaway: Trade is becoming more contested and compliance-driven, while major powers compete to shape the next generation of trade partnerships in emerging markets.
