Leaders of the G20 finance ministers conference in Durban are attempting to strengthen international collaboration in the face of growing geopolitical division, debt problems, and tariff concerns. Under the first African presidency, South Africa is hosting the summit, which focuses on Global South objectives like climate finance, infrastructure, and multilateral bank reform. Trumps proposed 30% tariffs on EU goods could destroy transatlantic trade, according to German authorities, while South Korea and other countries prepare for similar actions. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessents absence has sparked questions about Washingtons commitment to multilateralism. Africas external debt has risen to $800 billion, leading to demands for additional aid and transparent lending.

Trump Gives Russia 50 Days to End Ukraine War or Face 100% Secondary Tariffs

President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 100% "secondary tariffs" on Russian trading partners unless a peace agreement is reached to end the conflict in Ukraine within 50 days. Trump, speaking with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, bemoaned Vladimir Putins persistent missile strikes on Kyiv in spite of diplomatic discussions. The tariffs, which are intended to economically isolate Moscow, would be imposed on nations that do business with Russia. In order to strengthen Ukraines defences, Trump simultaneously announced a huge NATO arms sale that included Patriot missile systems and was financed by countries like Germany, Canada, and Sweden.

South African auto shipments to the United States fell more than 80% in April and May 2025 as a result of President Donald Trumps hefty 25–30% tariffs.
