U.S. President Donald Trump will host South African President on Wednesday for crunch talks over alleged "genocide" on white farmers and other racial issues highlighted by the Trump. Ramaphosa is hoping to use the opportunity to revive US-South Africa relations, currently at its lowest since 1994.
United States President Donald Trump will host South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday at the White House for talks on a range of issues, including "genocide" allegations levied against the South African government on white farmers in the country.
Since his return to office, Trump has being vocal about the plight of white South Africans, accusing the Black-led government of seizing lands from white farmers, implementing anti-white policies, and exploring policies regarded as anti-American. However, these claims have been consistently denied by the South African government.
Tensions between both countries have been boiling since the begining of the year when the U.S. government cut aid to South Africa and also sent its ambassador packing. It escalated even further when Donald Trump imposed a 31% tariff on U.S. imports from South Africa in April.
Ramapshosa is hoping to clear the air during the meeting on what he calls "damaging mischaracterizatoin" of the relationship between his governent and the white South African miniority group, especially the alleged killings of wihte Afrikaner farmers.
The bilateral trade volume between the United States and South Africa is only second to that of the U.S. and China, adding more importance to the discussions that could potentially include trade issues.
Ramaphosa's White House visit will be the first by an African leader since the re-election of Donald Trump as president.
