When i was in government, the south african economy was growing at 4.5% - 5%. but then came the global financial crisis of 2008/2009, and so the global economy shrunk. that hit south africa very hard, because then the export markets shrunk, and that includes china, which has become one of the main trade partners with south africa. also, the slowdown in the chinese economy affected south africa. the result was that during that whole period, south africa lost something like a million jobs because of external factors.

What donald trump has been concerned about, what he`s talked about, is when we get deals that don`t level the playing field, when we get deals that aren`t the kinds of best deals we can get, we want good deals, and those are free trade deals to lower the barriers between trade between two countries.

In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with arab and pakistani americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and fbi questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. they have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that america has learned the right lessons from the japanese internments during world war ii, and that i will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
