South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will meet US President Donald Trump at the White House next week, following tensions over US acceptance of white South African refugees.
The meeting comes after Trump alleged, and South Africa denied, that white farmers are facing 'genocide' in the country. South Africa's government says the visit aims to 'reset' relations with the US and address misunderstandings. Ramaphosa is also expected to invite Trump to visit South Africa.
The talks are seen as crucial for the future of US-South Africa diplomatic ties.

Glad to see Trump standing up and actually calling out the attacks on white farmers in South Africa when so many politicians just ignore it. Let’s hope he keeps the pressure on Ramaphosa and puts American interests first in these talks.

It’s about time someone in power is speaking up about the horrific treatment of white South African farmers—mainstream media never wants to talk about it. Hopefully Trump doesn’t back down and actually pushes Ramaphosa to answer for what’s really going on over there.
