Trump’s BIG WARNING To Tech Companies | Threatens Tariffs On Phones Made Abroad | Apple
President Donald Trump has issued a broad warning to tech companies that manufacture smartphones abroad, declaring that a 25% tariff will apply not just to Apple but to any firm — including Samsung — that doesn’t shift production to the United States.
Speaking to reporters, Trump emphasized fairness and announced that the new tariffs are expected to be finalized by the end of June.
The move signals a dramatic escalation in his economic nationalism and could have major repercussions on global smartphone pricing and tech supply chains.
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.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is facing intense criticism after calling the deadly Texas floods—claiming over 100 lives—an “act of God.” The comment came as search and rescue efforts continued in Kerr County, where floodwaters swept through homes and Camp Mystic. Critics argue the Trump administration’s underfunding of FEMA and the National Weather Service worsened the crisis. During a press conference, reporters challenged Leavitt over delayed alerts and lack of preparedness. The backlash grows as families demand accountability for a preventable disaster.

President Donald Trump lashed out at reporters during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, dismissing questions about the controversial Jeffrey Epstein case as a "desecration." This explosive reaction came just one day after the Justice Department, led by Trump's own Attorney General Pam Bondi, released a memo stating there was no evidence of an Epstein "client list" or that the disgraced financier was Murdered. Trump attempted to pivot the conversation to the tragic flooding in Texas, questioning why the media was still focused on "this creep" Epstein during a time of national crisis.
The situation has ignited a fierce backlash within the MAGA movement. For years, Trump's most fervent supporters and allies have propagated theories about a secret "client list" that could incriminate powerful figures. Attorney General Pam Bondi, once a champion of these theories who claimed in a February Fox News interview that the list was "on my desk to review," is now facing intense criticism. Her department's memo directly contradicts the narrative she previously appeared to support.

A shocking new report by CNN claims that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a pause on crucial weapons shipments to Ukraine without informing the White House. When questioned about the decision, President Donald Trump appeared to be unaware, denying responsibility by stating, “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?” This unilateral action by the Pentagon chief has reportedly set off a major scramble within the administration, highlighting a severe breakdown in communication. The pause comes at a perilous moment for Kyiv, as Russia has intensified its missile attacks across Ukraine. Such a disruption in the supply of munitions could have devastating consequences on the battlefield. The lack of coordination was so profound that key figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Keith Kellogg allegedly learned of the aid suspension from press reports, not from the Pentagon or Hegseth himself. Sources cited by CNN suggest that Hegseth's lack of a chief of staff or senior advisers has led to this poor interagency coordination.
In an attempt to control the narrative, the Pentagon stated the pause was for an assessment of US stockpiles, while the White House clarified that this review was never intended to halt the flow of aid. Following the backlash, President Trump reportedly ordered the resumption of some arms shipments, including Patriot missiles stationed in Poland. This entire incident raises serious questions about the chain of command, policy clarity, and the stability of US support for Ukraine.
