South Africa FUMES at Trump’s 30% Tariff Bombshell | Will Ramaphosa Choose China Over the U.S.?
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.

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.

Gaza Church Strike: In a rare public rebuke, President Trump personally phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic Church, the Holy Family Church. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump’s reaction was "not positive," and said Netanyahu agreed the strike was a mistake. Israel has expressed deep regret, stating stray ammunition hit the church, killing three civilians and injuring nine, including the parish priest.
The incident, which has drawn international condemnation—from the Vatican to Italy and France—adds fresh strain to U.S.–Israel relations. Netanyahu pledged a full investigation, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to protecting civilians and holy sites. As global outrage mounts over one of Gaza's most sacred landmarks being struck, Trump's demand for accountability signals growing U.S. intolerance of collateral harm amidst the Gaza conflict.

U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited a political firestorm by accusing the Democratic Party of committing “fraud” during the 2024 election campaign. In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed that Democrats paid millions to celebrities for endorsements—an act he called “totally illegal.”
He alleged $11 million was funneled to Beyoncé, $3 million to Oprah Winfrey, and $600,000 to Reverend Al Sharpton. Trump emphasized that none of the celebrities performed or contributed meaningfully, calling it a misuse of campaign funds and accusing them of falsifying financial records. He concluded with a demand for the prosecution of Vice President Kamala Harris and others “who broke the law.” Trump's latest explosive allegations have reignited debates on the legality of political endorsements, celebrity influence in elections, and campaign financing ethics. His claims, if proven, could carry legal and electoral consequences. The White House and Democratic Party are yet to respond.

South Korea is reeling from catastrophic flooding and landslides triggered by relentless heavy rainfall since July 16, 2025. The death toll has surged to 14, with 12 still missing, as nature's fury battered central and southern regions. In the resort town of Gapyeong, a deadly landslide buried homes, while floodwaters swept vehicles away.
Sancheong County alone recorded nearly 800mm of rainfall, leading to the evacuation of over 7,000 residents nationwide. The national weather agency has forecast the rain will cease by Sunday, but a blistering heatwave is set to follow. Experts warn climate change is intensifying these extreme weather events, pushing South Korea to the edge. As rescue teams scramble and damage assessments begin, authorities continue to urge caution. The tragedy underscores growing environmental risks as weather patterns become more volatile and unpredictable.

Donald Trump’s second term is now synonymous with diplomatic failure, global chaos, and domestic division. From the controversial closure of the Epstein case to inflaming the Israel-Iran conflict, Trump’s unpredictable policies have left even his allies in dismay. His sudden $300 million Ukraine aid after earlier cuts has confused NATO partners.
Worse still, Trump’s tariffs on longtime allies like Canada, Japan, and South Korea have sparked economic retaliation, forcing countries to diversify away from the U.S. Critics say his leadership is built on instability and ego, not strategy. Meanwhile, top voices in his MAGA base are turning against him, furious over his handling of Epstein and repeated cabinet dysfunction. In this political storm, one question echoes louder than ever—is Donald Trump the worst president America has ever seen?

WW3 WARNING: Russia has openly backed North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declaring support during a high-stakes visit to Wonsan. Lavrov warned the U.S., South Korea, and Japan against forming a security pact aimed at Pyongyang. North Korea, in turn, reaffirmed its "unconditional" support for Russia’s war in Ukraine, calling the alliance "invincible." The deepening cooperation marks a major geopolitical shift, heightening tensions in Northeast Asia and threatening the regional balance of power as the two nations ramp up military and strategic coordination.
