nairobi - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to meet with US President Donald Trump amidst strained relations following the arrival of Afrikaner 'refugees'. Trade, land issues, and geopolitical tensions on the agenda.

High Diplomatic Tensions Ahead of South African President's Visit to White House

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to visit US President Donald Trump amidst strained relations due to the recent arrival of Afrikaner 'refugees' in the US.

Trade Relations and Land Disputes

The visit aims to mend the cooled relations between the two countries, with South Africa being the US's largest African trade partner. The recent influx of Afrikaners in Washington sparked diplomatic tensions, with Trump labeling them as 'genocide victims' due to land expropriation laws.

Geopolitical Concerns and AGOA

Issues such as the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) expiration in September, which allows African countries duty-free access to the US market, also add pressure to the discussions. The potential impact on trade and job losses is a significant concern.

Challenges and Criticisms

Aside from economic worries, geopolitical tensions, including differing stances on international conflicts, contribute to the strained relationship. Trump's previous comments linking Ramaphosa to 'shithole countries' further complicate the situation.

Expert Analysis

South African analyst Sanusha Naidu notes the unpredictable nature of the current US administration, highlighting challenges in diplomatic engagements with the White House.
