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.

A tense exchange erupted during a White House briefing as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Donald Trump's controversial video shown to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. NBC's Yamiche Alcindor challenged the clip’s accuracy, saying it falsely portrayed a genocide of white farmers. The video featured dozens of crosses, allegedly representing slain farmers—though Alcindor noted they honored a single couple. Leavitt pushed back, claiming white South Africans are being killed and persecuted due to race. The moment underscores rising tensions around Trump’s rhetoric on race and global narratives.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa firmly rejected Donald Trump’s “white genocide” claims, declaring, “There is no genocide in South Africa.” The rebuttal followed a tense White House meeting where Trump presented graphic material to support his allegations. Ramaphosa, visibly upset, requested the footage be stopped. Trump’s claims come after granting asylum to 59 white South Africans. Ramaphosa emphasized that violence in South Africa affects all races and warned against equating current issues with the apartheid-era struggle.

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.

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.

President Trump has announced sweeping 30% tariffs on imports from the European Union and Mexico, igniting fresh trade tensions. Starting August 1, key sectors like auto parts, electronics, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals could see massive price hikes. The EU had hoped for a trade deal, but escalating tariffs now threaten negotiations. With over 60% of U.S. vegetables and 71% of drywall materials coming from Mexico, American households could see grocery and construction costs soar—up to $1,200 more annually. Retaliatory tariffs from affected countries may soon follow.

Weeks after Trump boasted of obliterating Iran’s nuclear program, a New York Times report raises major doubts. Israeli officials claim parts of Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile survived U.S. airstrikes in June. The uranium, reportedly buried too deep at Isfahan, may remain intact and inaccessible. While the U.S. says centrifuges were likely destroyed, satellite imagery suggests otherwise. With IAEA inspectors blocked, uncertainty looms. Trump’s “Midnight Hammer” may not have delivered a fatal blow, casting doubt on U.S. intelligence and raising fears about Iran’s nuclear future.

In a shocking revelation, satellite images have exposed the extensive damage to the Al Udeid US airbase in Qatar following a retaliatory strike by Iran. The attack, which occurred after US aggression on Iranian nuclear sites, has left the base in ruins, shattering claims by President Donald Trump that the base remained unharmed. As the US continues to downplay the impact of the strike, these images provide undeniable proof of the devastation, raising questions about Trump's sudden ceasefire order. Was the ceasefire a tactical move to cover up the severity of the strike, or was it forced by the massive destruction at Al Udeid?

Ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas are deadlocked as Israel refuses to withdraw troops from Gaza’s strategic Morag corridor. Hamas demands a full pullout, calling Israel’s military presence a deal-breaker. Critics warn Israel’s position could derail humanitarian deals and lead to mass displacement. U.S. and Qatari mediators are scrambling to salvage negotiations. With allegations of ethnic cleansing surfacing, Israel’s hardline stance is seen by some as a strategic move to maintain control over southern Gaza during any truce.

Iran has issued a grave warning to the U.S. and Israel, threatening regional retaliation if the fragile ceasefire collapses. IRGC spokesman General Shekarchi declared that American and Israeli bases in West Asia are within missile and drone range. Claiming severe damage was already inflicted on U.S. forces in Qatar and Israeli infrastructure, Shekarchi vowed that future retaliation would be “even more destructive.” Tehran stressed peaceful intentions—but warned it will cross “all red lines” if provoked again.

In a major escalation, five Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers have been killed and fourteen others wounded following a sophisticated IED (Improvised Explosive Device) attack by Hamas. The incident occurred in Beit Hanoun, a hotspot in northern Gaza that has seen a recent surge in militant activity. According to reports, the attack targeted an army medical unit that was entering the area to evacuate soldiers who were wounded in earlier fighting.
Four of the fallen soldiers were from the 97th Netzah Yehuda Battalion, with the fifth belonging to the Northern Gaza Brigade. The IDF has officially named some of the deceased, including Staff Sgt. Noam Musgadian and Sgt. Moshe Frech, as the nation mourns their loss. All fourteen injured soldiers have been evacuated for urgent medical treatment. This attack comes at a critical time, coinciding with indirect ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, mediated in Doha, Qatar. The latest round of talks on Monday ended without any significant breakthrough.
Adding a layer of political drama to the tragedy, a photograph circulated by RT News allegedly captured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's furious reaction to the news, which he reportedly received just before a dinner with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
This deadly incident, occurring two years into the Israel-Gaza war, highlights the persistent threat posed by Hamas and raises serious questions about Israel's ability to completely secure the region and neutralize the group's operational capabilities.
