Ramaphosa Trolls Qatar’s Jet Gift to Trump With Savage Swipe: 'I Don’t Even Have a Plane to Give!'
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa stole the spotlight with a sharply delivered remark that left world leaders—and social media—buzzing.
In what appeared to be a cheeky jab at the recent headlines around Qatar gifting a private jet to Donald Trump, Ramaphosa quipped during a diplomatic exchange: “I don’t even have a plane to give!”
The unexpected comment, made in Trump's presence, was met with laughter and raised eyebrows at the high-level event.
While Qatar’s controversial gesture drew criticism and praise across political lines, Ramaphosa’s unfiltered response added a bold twist to the narrative.
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.

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.

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.

Hamas welcomed the BRICS summit statement demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and full Israeli withdrawal. The BRICS communiqué accused Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war and condemned its ongoing military siege. 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. The group also reaffirmed support for UNRWA and denounced aid politicization in Gaza.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer hug in Downing Street after meeting in Number 10, ahead of talks between presidents Trump and Putin in Alaska on Friday. Report by Blairm. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
In a move sparking outrage in Kyiv and across Europe, U.S. President Donald Trump is facing accusations of caving to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demands even before their high-stakes Alaska Summit begins on August 15, 2025. The talks, set at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, aim to broker a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, but Moscow insists on three controversial conditions: Ukraine’s full military withdrawal from four occupied regions, formal recognition of Russian sovereignty over annexed territories including Crimea, and a constitutional ban on NATO membership.
Critics warn these terms would reward aggression, dismantle Ukraine’s sovereignty, and embolden future invasions. Trump’s openness to “territorial swaps” has raised fears of a deal without Kyiv’s consent. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed “no concessions,” while European allies caution that agreeing to these terms could rewrite global borders by force and undermine international law.

Bishara Bahbah, a key figure in former President Trump’s Gaza negotiating team, has resigned, accusing the U.S. and Israel of sabotaging near-successful ceasefire talks with Hamas. Bahbah claims negotiators in Qatar were ordered home by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff just as Hamas was close to accepting deal terms. He blames Prime Minister Netanyahu’s hardline Gaza takeover plan for collapsing peace efforts. A former “Arab Americans for Trump” leader, Bahbah vows to continue independent mediation as Israel advances toward full control of Gaza.

Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Hamas: “Surrender and release the hostages” or face continued starvation in Gaza. Amid mounting criticism of Israel’s war strategy and stalled hostage talks, Trump shifted his tone—demanding Hamas end resistance to stop the humanitarian crisis. As Netanyahu meets U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, discussions center on reviving negotiations via Qatar and Egypt. With annexation being floated as a fallback, the situation remains tense, and U.S.-backed aid efforts face scrutiny for failing to ease suffering.

Saudi Arabia has signed over $6 billion in investment deals with Syria, signaling strong support for President Al-Sharaa amid ongoing unrest. The agreements cover energy, infrastructure, real estate, and agriculture, aiming to revive Syria’s war-torn economy and create up to 200,000 jobs. Analysts see this as a major geopolitical shift—and a blow to Israel’s regional influence—as Tel Aviv has actively targeted Syrian positions during its civil war. The move comes after Saudi and Qatari efforts cleared Syria’s World Bank debt, unlocking fresh international lending.
