Trump hosts Ramaphosa as South African leader seeks to mend US ties

Quick Summary:

President Donald Trump is hosting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa for White House talks Wednesday at a moment when relations between the two countries are at a nadir, with Trump laying into South African officials on widely rejected charges of allowing a genocide against minority white farmers.

South African officials have strongly pushed back against Trump's accusation and Ramaphosa sought the meeting to set the record straight and salvage his country's relationship with the United States.

"The president is a truly respected man in many, many circles," Trump said of the South African president at the start of the Oval Office meeting.
