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.

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.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a striking endorsement of the Trump-Putin Alaska summit, declaring that “the world is a safer place today than it was yesterday.” Orbán praised the meeting as a long-overdue reset between the two biggest nuclear powers, accusing President Joe Biden of dismantling the framework of U.S.-Russia cooperation. The Hungarian leader said Trump and Putin had ended years of hostility and reopened the path to dialogue. His remarks were hailed by Moscow and welcomed by Trump allies, while Western critics warned Orbán was legitimizing Putin’s war agenda. Both Trump and Putin reportedly agreed that Biden’s approach had accelerated tensions instead of resolving them. The summit, which ended without a ceasefire deal in Ukraine, continues to send shockwaves across Europe. Orbán’s comments add fuel to an already divisive global debate over whether the Alaska meeting represents peace progress or dangerous appeasement.

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.

President Donald Trump spoke with Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko on Friday, just hours before his Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Calling the discussion “wonderful,” Trump thanked Lukashenko for releasing 16 political prisoners and explored a deal for freeing 1,300 more. This was their first call since Trump’s White House return. They discussed the Ukraine war, bilateral ties, and Putin’s visit. Belarus, a staunch Putin ally, has allowed Russian troops to operate from its territory since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Pakistan Flood HORROR: Pakistan is reeling from catastrophic monsoon floods that have killed at least 321 people in just 48 hours, the National Disaster Management Authority confirmed on Saturday. Most of the victims—307—were in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where flash floods swept away entire villages and homes. Nine deaths were reported in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and five in Gilgit-Baltistan. Torrential rains, landslides, and washed-out roads are crippling rescue efforts, with more rainfall forecast. The provincial government has declared Buner, Bajaur, Swat, Shangla, Mansehra, and Battagram disaster-hit zones. Over 2,000 rescuers are working relentlessly, often on foot, to reach survivors trapped in debris, as machinery and ambulances struggle to reach cut-off areas. Many families refuse to evacuate, mourning loved ones buried beneath rubble. The government has issued an urgent rain alert, warning of more devastation to come. International attention is now on Pakistan’s fragile infrastructure and the scale of this unfolding humanitarian disaster.
