Existing US sanctions on Zimbabwe in place since 2003 have been extended for a further 12 months.

President Donald Trump says the southern African nation poses an “unusual and extraordinary” threat to US foreign policy.

He blamed President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government for failing to implement the “political and economic overhaul required to rebuild its reputation”. The US president also said on Monday that Zimbabwe’s 2018 election wasn’t “fully free and fair”.
