TK: Let�s give Trump a chance

Tuesday, December 20, 2016

MAUN: Minister of Environment and Natural Resources, Conservation and Tourism, Tshekedi Khama, popularly known as TK, says Botswana will employ a wait-and-see approach on United States (US) president-elect Donald Trump over his anti-climate stance during the campaign.
