💨 Abstract

A controversial U.S. bill calling for a review of diplomatic, trade, and military ties with South Africa, and potentially sanctioning senior ANC officials, passed a crucial stage in the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The bill, introduced by Rep. Ronny Jackson, aims to address South Africa's alignments with Russia, China, and Iran, as well as its interactions with Hamas. While supporters view it as a means to enforce accountability, critics believe it could harm relations.
