US President Donald Trump and his South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa agreed to strengthen bilateral trade and investments in a closed-door meeting, following their tense encounter in Washington on Wednesday, according to the South African Presidency. The meeting was marked by a heated exchange between the two leaders, during which Trump showed a video that he claimed proved a genocide was being committed against white people in South Africa. The video, replete with inaccuracies and misinformation, was intended to support Trump's offer of 'refuge' to white farmers being persecuted, which enraged the South African government. However, Pretoria considered the meeting a success. 'The two leaders agreed to strengthen bilateral trade relations, increase investments in mutual benefit and forge cooperation in technological exchange,' said the South African government in a statement. President Ramaphosa 'welcomed the opening of trade negotiations between South Africa and the United States through their respective negotiating teams,' the text added. Relations between the two nations have deteriorated since Trump took office in January, with him threatening South Africa with high tariffs and expelling its ambassador. Maintaining commercial ties with Washington is a priority for Ramaphosa, as the United States is South Africa's second-largest trading partner, after China.
