Africans working in the United States of America will have to think of a new way of sending money home. This is after President Donald J. Trump introduced a new tax law that will see more money returned to the USA government going forward.

With the instruction of new tax, the government is going to lose over three billion. Something that will negatively impact the estimated budget, the one passed a few weeks ago.
According to economic experts, the money being taxed seems to be little but when combined cumulatively, it is huge. If the same is calculated across the world, the USA is going to retain a lot of money there.
