South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa is in the United States for a high-stakes visit accompanied by four cabinet ministers. He is expected to meet Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday, but whether the visit could see relations between the two governments improve is the subject of debate.
"President Ramaphosa will meet with President Donald Trump at the White House in Washington DC to discuss bilateral, regional and global issues of interest," South Africa's presidency said last week in a statement. Ramaphosa is in the US on a working visit from 19 to 22 May.
