South African President 'Insulted' at White House, Pleads Trump to Stop Displaying 'Genocide' Videos
In a dramatic and highly charged White House meeting, U.S. President Donald Trump presented South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with graphic videos claiming to show violence against White farmers in South Africa.
Trump declared, âI have proof,â forcing Ramaphosa to watch the footage as cameras rolled.
Visibly caught off guard, Ramaphosa reportedly bowed his head and asked for the videos to be stopped, saying he was unaware of the extent of the violence and would âwork on it.â The South African government has repeatedly denied Trumpâs âwhite genocideâ claims, calling them inflammatory and misleading.
This confrontation has reignited debate over land reform, race, and human rights in South Africa.
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.

Ahead of the TrumpâPutin summit in Alaska, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected any withdrawal from Donbas, warning it would allow Russia to launch a âthird warâ in Ukraine. He insists ceding territory would expose cities like Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv to occupation. While Putin is expected to push for Ukrainian withdrawal, Zelensky seeks EU security guarantees and ongoing Western support. U.S. officials say Trump aims to eventually broker direct talks, but no ceasefire proposal so far assures Ukraineâs long-term safety.

As Donald Trump intensifies his tariff war on nations like India and Brazil, a BRICS Strategic Awakening is underway. The five-member blocâBrazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africaâis realigning its collective strength to challenge Washingtonâs 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.
