Maseru, Jul. 19—Economists predict a need for African countries especially Lesotho to
fasten belts if former president of the United States of America (USA) Donald Trump returns
to power.
In an interview on Friday, Mr. Thabo Qhesi said if Trump returns to the presidency seat,
many countries are likely to relive the Ukraine-Russia war impact, only this time it will be
Trump.
He cited the inflation rate which he said is likely to find its upward way again, then impacting
on the prices of commodities and crude oil, probably resulting in high standards of living.
Qhesi recalled that the former USA president once withdrew the USA Covid-19 assistance
from the World Health Organisation (WHO) in the midst of the pandemic, due to his
differences with the WHO Director.
