South Africa's Ramaphosa Faces Trump at the White House

He is allegedly with coming with deals and golf offers

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa heads to the White House on Wednesday on a perilous mission to persuade a hostile President Donald Trump to make deals with his country rather than scold and punish it as he has done since the start of his second term.

Attacking South Africa's land reform law aimed at redressing the injustices of apartheid and its genocide court case against Israel, Trump has canceled aid to the country, expelled its ambassador and offered refuge to white Afrikaners based on racial discrimination claims that Pretoria says are unfounded.

"Whether we like it or not, we are joined at the hip, and we need to be talking to them," Ramaphosa said on South African state television before flying to Washington to meet Trump.
