Ramaphosa hopes to reset and revitalise bilateral relations with the US, particularly regarding trade. Trump has cut all financial aid to South Africa, expelled its ambassador, and falsely claimed that the government is conducting a genocide against white Afrikaners.
Last week, the US welcomed as refugees 59 white South Africans who claim they were persecuted in their home country. The South African presidency says Ramaphosa will discuss “bilateral, regional, and global issues of interest” with Trump.
He’s accompanied by several government officials, including Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen, who also leads the Democratic Alliance (DA). DA is the second-largest party in the government of national unity, representing mostly the white people.

While in Washington, Ramaphosa is also expected to discuss business opportunities for the companies of South African-born Elon Musk, who has become one of Trump’s close allies and advisors.
