Is Zimbabwe wooing Donald Trump by paying white farmers and ending tariffs?

The United States and Zimbabwe may be improving their relations as Zimbabwe has eliminated all taxes on US imports and has started compensating white farmers who lost land 25 years ago during land reforms. This comes amidst global tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, who has criticized the treatment of white minorities in Southern Africa. Zimbabwe, facing economic collapse for over two decades, hopes to build a positive relationship with the US for economic benefits. However, experts doubt that canceling tariffs on US goods will benefit Zimbabwe’s economy, as it may lead to flooding of US products and harm local businesses. The compensation to white farmers has caused controversy, with some questioning the use of public funds for compensation. Zimbabwe is also facing political turmoil within the ruling party ahead of the upcoming elections.
