South Africa FUMES at Trump’s 30% Tariff Bombshell | Will Ramaphosa Choose China Over the U.S.? [Video]

South Africa FUMES at Trump’s 30% Tariff Bombshell | Will Ramaphosa Choose China Over the U.S.?

In a major international development, former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 30% tariff on all goods imported from South Africa, set to begin on August 1. In a letter, Trump claimed South Africa's trade policies are "far from reciprocal," prompting this drastic measure. The White House has indicated that these tariffs could be adjusted based on the future of US-Pretoria relations. Responding swiftly, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has sharply pushed back, labelling the tariff a "contested interpretation" of the current trade reality. In a statement from his office, Ramaphosa highlighted that South Africa's average tariff on imports is a modest 7.6%, and a staggering 77% of all U.S. goods enter the country completely duty-free. He has tasked a special team to urgently engage with U.S. officials on the matter. High-stakes negotiations are already underway. U.S. and South African officials have met in Angola to discuss tariff relief and market access. South Africa's trade ministry is pushing to delay the deadline and negotiate a new framework, with sources indicating they are seeking to cap the duty rate at 10% as a potential compromise. The international community is watching closely as a Press Secretary Leavitt has hinted at a possible delay, leaving the future of US-South Africa trade hanging in the balance. #TradeWar #SouthAfrica #DonaldTrump #BreakingNews #WorldNews #USA #CyrilRamaphosa #USTrade #LatestNews #OneindiaNews #BreakingNews #30PercentTarif Also Read US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~

BRICS Strategic Awakening Counters Trump's Global Tariff Offensive

As Donald Trump intensifies his tariff war on nations like India and Brazil, a BRICS Strategic Awakening is underway. The five-member bloc—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—is realigning its collective strength to challenge Washington’s high-handedness. With renewed cooperation and resistance, this BRICS Strategic Awakening could reshape the global trade order. From bilateral pacts to bold diplomatic moves, the BRICS Strategic Awakening signals a global shift towards multipolarity. #BRICSStrategicAwakening #TrumpTariffWar #IndiaRussiaChina #GlobalTradeShift #MultipolarWorld

'Will have to PAY BIG PRIZE' |Trump THREATENS 10% Tariffs on BRICS Nations over De-Dollarisation Bid

Donald Trump issued a bold warning to BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—accusing them of trying to “undermine the dollar.” Trump declared a 10% tariff would hit any country aligning with BRICS or challenging U.S. currency dominance. “The dollar is king. We’re going to keep it that way,” he asserted. The statement signals Trump’s aggressive stance on global finance and hints at harsh penalties for nations embracing BRICS’ alternative trade frameworks or currency cooperation. #TrumpVsBRICS #DollarIsKing #TrumpTariffs #BRICSWarning #USDollarDominance #CurrencyWar #TradeThreat #Geopolitics #Trump2024 #TrumpSpeech #GlobalFinance #BRICSEconomies #USSanctions #10PercentTariff #TrumpForeignPolicy #EconomicShowdown #BreakingNews #TrumpNews #BRICSExpansion #Dedollarization #CurrencyChallenge #TariffThreat #AmericaFirst #USVsBRICS Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

With over 57,400 Palestinians killed, BRICS backed Palestinian statehood with East Jerusalem as its capital. Hamas urged BRICS nations-including China, Russia, and South Africa-to intensify global pressure on Israel’s blockade and occupation.
