South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will visit the United States next week to meet with President Donald Trump.
The meeting is scheduled for May 21st at the White House. Discussions will focus on bilateral, regional, and global issues.
The visit aims to “reset the strategic relationship” between the two nations. Relations have strained since Trump’s return to office.
The US has cut financial aid to South Africa, citing land reform and the ICJ case against Israel.
The Trump administration recently granted refugee status to 49 white South Africans, claiming they face racial discrimination.
South Africa denies any persecution of its white citizens. The US is South Africa’s second-largest trading partner after China.
