US President Donald Trump welcomes South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to the White House amidst tensions sparked by Trump’s accusations of a “genocide” against white farmers in South Africa. The claims have been strongly refuted by the South African government, with both white and Black farmers denying the existence of any systematic targeting.
Ramaphosa seeks to address these allegations and mend the strained relationship between the two nations, which has hit a low point not seen since the end of apartheid in 1994. Trump’s decision to halt US aid to South Africa and welcome white South African farmers as refugees has further intensified the situation.
In a significant development, Elon Musk, the influential South African-born billionaire and advisor to Trump, is set to join the meeting. Musk, a vocal critic of what he perceives as discriminatory policies in his home country, is expected to play a key role in the discussions.
