On May 21, 2025, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa met with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, where the discussion took an unexpected turn. Trump confronted Ramaphosa with unverified footage alleging a "white genocide" in South Africa, a claim that has been widely debunked by South African officials and international observers. The incident was reminiscent of a previous confrontation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, leading some to speculate that Ramaphosa had successfully navigated a potential diplomatic crisis. Watch what Ramaphosa said on the White House meet

President Trump plans to confront South Africa over its treatment of the white minority, particularly Afrikaners, in upcoming diplomatic talks. He may demand exemptions for U.S. firms from Black Economic Empowerment laws and urge South Africa to denounce “genocidal rhetoric” by local politicians. The meeting follows U.S. aid cuts and heightened tensions over land reform policies. South African President Ramaphosa rejects Trump's claims of persecution, calling for the talks to focus instead on trade. The issue has sparked global debate over race, land ownership, and historical justice.

Donald Trump’s high-stakes announcement of the $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense shield was dramatically overshadowed by pointed questions about Vladimir Putin and Ukraine. What began as a proud moment unveiling America’s most ambitious defense initiative quickly turned tense, as Trump was pressed on Ukrainian President Zelensky’s call for stricter sanctions on Russia. Snapping back, Trump asserted, “I determine that,” making it clear he alone would decide the course on Russia.

In a private May 19 call with EU leaders, Donald Trump revealed that Vladimir Putin doesn’t plan to end the Ukraine war—because he believes he's winning. This follows a confidential conversation between Trump and Putin just a day earlier. While Trump had once claimed Putin sought peace, this marked his first admission that Russia intends to prolong the conflict. Trump backed off earlier threats of sanctions, telling leaders, “This isn’t my war.” EU officials now worry U.S. support for Ukraine may fade, leaving Europe to lead the response alone.

NATO faces internal cracks as leaders clash over defense spending amid fresh Russian threats. Polish PM Donald Tusk revealed his forces intercepted a Russian “shadow fleet” near undersea cables in the Baltic Sea—seen as hybrid warfare. Lithuania’s defense minister Dovile Shakalene criticized NATO’s dysfunction, backing Donald Trump’s call for 5% defense spending. She slammed Western European nations for ignoring Eastern security concerns. As Russia’s activity intensifies, NATO unity is under stress, raising fears of permanent confrontation in the Baltic region.

EU-AU ministers vow to strengthen partnership on peace, and security amid geopolitical volatility
The last time that foreign ministers from both continents met, Russia had not invaded its neighbour Ukraine, the war in Sudan had not begun, and France, a leading member of the 27-nation EU bloc, had not lost its influence in Africa's Sahel region, where its military was forced out last year.
