U.S.-South Africa Bilateral Relations Review Act
S 2752 requires the U.S. President to conduct a 120-day review of U.S.-South Africa relations, prompted by Congress's findings that South Africa's government has consistently supported Hamas (a U.S. designated terrorist group), deepened ties with Russia (during its invasion of Ukraine), and strengthened partnerships with China (including CCP-linked institutions). The review must assess whether South Africa's actions undermine U.S. national security or foreign policy interests, leading to a certification. If the certification finds such actions, the bill mandates terminating South Africa's eligibility for key U.S. trade benefits under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). The bill does not impose immediate sanctions but sets a process for potential trade consequences based on the review's findings.
