Colombian Presidential Candidate Miguel Uribe Dies After June 7Assassination Attempt At Bogota Rally

Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe, 39, a rising star in the right-wing opposition and potential 2026 presidential candidate, has died after being shot in the head during a rally in Bogota on June 7. The attack, carried out in front of supporters, left Uribe critically injured until his death was confirmed Monday by his family. Police say five suspects have been arrested, including a 15-year-old alleged hitman, and Elder Jose Arteaga Hernandez, accused of orchestrating the plot. Authorities allege Hernandez, with a criminal history and Interpol file, arranged every stage of the attack, hiring the shooter and supplying the weapon. Colombian officials claim the killing was negotiated for around $250,000. Uribe, a member of the Democratic Center party, had announced his presidential ambitions in October last year, making his assassination a chilling blow to Colombia’s political landscape. #Colombia #MiguelUribe #PoliticalAssassination #Bogota #BreakingNews #ColombianPolitics #RightWing #PresidentialCandidate #AssassinationPlot #Interpol #ColombianSenator #DemocraticCenter #PoliticalViolence #CrimeNews #LatinAmerica #Election2026 #Hitman #Breaking #SouthAmericaNews #InternationalNews ~HT.410~ED.194~

South Africa in 'negotiations' with US over tariffs as deadline pushed back by a week

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. #TradeWar #SouthAfrica #DonaldTrump #BreakingNews #WorldNews #USA #CyrilRamaphosa #USTrade #LatestNews #OneindiaNews #BreakingNews #30PercentTarif Also Read US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~

'Will have to PAY BIG PRIZE' |Trump THREATENS 10% Tariffs on BRICS Nations over De-Dollarisation Bid

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. #TrumpVsBRICS #DollarIsKing #TrumpTariffs #BRICSWarning #USDollarDominance #CurrencyWar #TradeThreat #Geopolitics #Trump2024 #TrumpSpeech #GlobalFinance #BRICSEconomies #USSanctions #10PercentTariff #TrumpForeignPolicy #EconomicShowdown #BreakingNews #TrumpNews #BRICSExpansion #Dedollarization #CurrencyChallenge #TariffThreat #AmericaFirst #USVsBRICS Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~
