🇿🇦🇺🇸President Cyril Ramaphosa has  arrived  in the U.S.  for a working visit that will culminate in a meeting with his counterpart Donald Trump on Wednesday.

Ramaphosa departed South Africa on Sunday night.
The trip comes after months of strained relations. In February, Trump accused South Africa of seizing land belonging to White farmers under its land expropriation act. White South Africans own more than 70 percent of the land despite making up just 7 percent of the population.

Trump also claimed without evidence that a genocide of White Afrikaner speakers was taking place in South Africa. He then sanctioned the country, cutting millions of dollars in aid.
South Africa has denied the accusations.

Issues including trade and tariffs, Ukraine, Gaza and G20 are expected to top the agenda of Wednesday's meeting.

South Africa holds the rotating presidency of the G20 but the U.S. has decided to effectively boycott the event.

South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice has also riled Trump. Pretoria has long been a supporter of the Palestinian people and a critic of Israel.

🇦🇫💬🇺🇸Trump's statement about the US intention to return the Bagram airbase is an "absurd way of posing the question," the deputy head of the Afghan Foreign Ministry told RIA Novosti.

The US President recently spoke about Washington's intention to preserve this base in Afghanistan, which was used by the US from 2001 until the Taliban came to power in 2021.
