Ramaphosa of South Africa Wants to Discuss land Policy with Trump

In order to resolve current concerns over his country’s land policy and the World Court case against Israel for genocide, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said Thursday that he would like to negotiate with U.S. President Donald Trump.

This comes after Trump criticised South Africa’s land reform policies and its position in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) dispute involving a close U.S. partner in an executive order earlier this month that reduced U.S. financial aid to the country.

He made it clear that his ultimate goal is to visit Washington in order to strengthen ties between the two countries. “We’d rather not go out and defend ourselves. He strongly desires to build a good relationship with President Trump, saying, “We want to go and do a meaningful deal with the United States on a whole range of issues.

Despite South Africa’s low reliance on U.S. aid, there are worries that Trump’s presidency could endanger the country’s privileged trade status under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). In international geopolitical disputes, the country seeks to remain neutral and steer clear of intimate ties with any of the big powers, such as China, Russia, and the United States.
