I'm sure this will work out well and won't push them further away from the US's sphere of influence and towards China at all :clueless:

SA is the ISO code of Saudi Arabia. ZA is the ISO code for South Africa. Please use the right ISO codes for fucks sake.

This is africanews.com where the focus is on Africa. As in South Africa. As in SA.

The title of the article uses SA for South Africa, so I'm sure they have enough respect for their readers to distinguish between Saudi Arabia and South Africa when reading an article from africanews.com

Representative John James (MI-10), alongside Rep. Jared Moskowitz (FL-23), have introduced the U.S.-South Africa Bilateral Relations Review Act in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Rep. James is a Republican and Rep. Moskowitz is a Democrat. I don't know what the chances of this passing are. Both started in 2023, so are very junior and likely have little influence.
