Listening to Duma Gqubule on 702 this morning
In pointer form commenting on the non existent presentation of the 2025 Financial Budget
"....
Jiggi jiggi ministers with idiotic policies in the anc for the past 16 years eventually being slapped down and stopped
Exhausted borrowing power
Incompetence of finance department
New growth budget...invest in people instead of steal from people
Debt ratio and fear mongering needs to stop. "
...and here SA wants to lay blame on Trump stopping aid to SA considering that aid assisted in enriching the most corrupt instead of minimizing the impoverishment and spread of life threatening diseases.
Time SA looks inwards and stops begging and empowering impoverishment.
Looking fwd to accountability and proper growth and assistance from WITHIN , for those who need it the most.

Trump - 10% tarriff increase on Chinese imports
China - 15 % tariff on American natural gas, fuel
Agricultural products, oil.
- Export control on rare earth minerals. Launches anti- trust investigations into
and android and Google
There has been no response from trump administration other than to seek talks with Beijing which was greeted by icy silence.
Both Trump and Elon started talking about 500billion investment into AI.
China has introduced Deepseek.
No more talk of AI in Washington.
Trump asked for the US, Russia and China to halve their defence budgets
China's response: America should forge ahead with their America First policy, and lead by example, as America has the biggest defence budget they should halve theirs first. China is compliant to all international law and has minimum nuclear weapons and don't seek to expand into the arms trade.
Trump now wants 50% of Ukraine rare earth minerals for payment for its defence against Russia. Ukraine is not happy with the deal.
China who also has great relationship with Russia is waiting in the wings.
It will be a mission just to get China around a table to discuss any of the above. They don't take lightly to being bullied by their enemies.
Beijing also hold the power of 1 billion people market. Cutting ties with them can be catastrophic if not handled properly.
America has a real problem with China and I doubt Trump will make it through this term as president before the American people tell him "You are fired"
Fact Check.. Have a nice day

I hope China comes up with a better deal for peace in Ukraine with Russia, they will get preferance on their rare earth mineral worth half a trillion that Trump desperately wants. China already controls 98% of these minerals. Russia China and Ukraine can do a deal by freezing out the US. The writing will be on the wall for Donald Duck.. and don't count out the EU turning its back on the US due to the hectic tariffs imposed on them by the trump administration. At least then there will be a decline on military weapons being sent to Israel to bomb woman and children.
