On May 12, Mr. Trump <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/11\/world\/africa\/trump-white-south-african-refugees.html\" title=\"\">welcomed some of those farmers<\/a> into the United States as refugees. He has also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/14\/us\/politics\/south-africa-ambassador-marco-rubio.html\" title=\"\">expelled South Africa\u2019s ambassador<\/a> to the United States and has cut off American aid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">South Africa will get its chance to directly rebut what it says is Mr. Trump\u2019s misinformation with President Cyril Ramaphosa\u2019s scheduled visit to the White House on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ramaphosa faces the political challenge of standing firm on his country\u2019s principles without angering Mr. Trump. America is South Africa\u2019s second-largest trading partner, but government officials say that many of their policies that upset Mr. Trump are necessary to undo the racial inequality created during apartheid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ramaphosa is expected to try to convince Mr. Trump that the United States has a lot to gain from maintaining close ties with South Africa, the largest economy in Africa. The South African president will also try to reset his relationship with Elon Musk, who was born in South Africa and is perhaps the leader\u2019s loudest critic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-5a616cd6\">Afrikaner refugees<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/03\/us\/politics\/south-africa-ramaphosa-trump-land-us-aid.html\" title=\"\">South African officials have disputed<\/a> Mr. Trump\u2019s assertion that Afrikaners, a white ethnic minority that created and led the apartheid regime, are being persecuted and killed at home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">South African <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/15\/world\/africa\/south-africa-whites-trump.html\" title=\"\">police data don\u2019t support the narrative of mass murder<\/a>. From April 2020 to March 2024, 225 people were killed on farms in South Africa, according to South African police officials. But many of the victims \u2014 101 \u2014 were current or former workers living on farms who tend to be Black. Fifty-three of the victims were farmers, who are usually white.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ramaphosa plans to call on Mr. Trump to support an independent investigation into the genocide claims, said Vincent Magwenya, a spokesman for the South African president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since his first term, Mr. Trump has embraced claims by some Afrikaners that they are targeted in mass killings in rural communities, where many of them own farms, and that they face discrimination in hiring, land ownership and other areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In January, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cvg9w4n6gp5o\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Mr. Ramaphosa signed into law<\/a> a measure that allows the government to seize privately held land without providing compensation when it\u2019s in the public interest. Mr. Trump then issued an executive order in February offering refugee status to Afrikaners. This month, top administration officials <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/12\/us\/politics\/white-south-africans-refugees.html\" title=\"\">welcomed 59 Afrikaners as refugees<\/a> at an airport near Washington. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-14cc57cb\">Elon Musk<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/11\/world\/africa\/starlink-south-africa-elon-musk.html\" title=\"\">Mr. Musk has been among the loudest critics<\/a> of his native country, using posts on X to amplify Mr. Trump\u2019s claims that white South Africans suffer from genocide and racism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ramaphosa has spoken with Mr. Musk several times over the past year in an effort to entice him to do business in the country he left as a teenager. He hopes to continue that pitch at the White House, where he expects that Mr. Musk will be part of Mr. Trump\u2019s delegation, Mr. Magwenya said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ramaphosa plans to raise the possibility that Tesla could build electric vehicle charging stations throughout South Africa and, in exchange, receive favorable tariffs for Teslas to be imported into the country. South Africa also has facilities available to launch rockets for SpaceX, Mr. Musk\u2019s space exploration company.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-4a7a8deb\">Israel and the war in Gaza<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ramaphosa plans to counter Mr. Trump\u2019s Afrikaner genocide accusations by pointing to America\u2019s support of Israel. His spokesman said that Mr. Ramaphosa will argue it is \u201claughable that you can use the genocide word on South Africa, while on the other hand you\u2019re looking the other way where the actual genocide is being committed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">South Africa brought <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/01\/12\/world\/middleeast\/israel-icj-genocide-south-africa.html\" title=\"\">genocide charges against Israel<\/a> at The Hague in 2023, related to Israel\u2019s conduct in its war against Hamas in Gaza. Some South African government officials and analysts said they believed the genocide charges contributed to the Trump administration\u2019s attacks on their country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ramaphosa plans to lean into areas of alignment he has with Mr. Trump on Israel, such as the need to ensure that humanitarian aid gets into Gaza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This could prove to be a complicated balance for Mr. Ramaphosa to strike. As a matter of principle, South Africans have long equated what they experienced during apartheid to what Palestinians are enduring under Israel\u2019s control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/01\/11\/world\/middleeast\/genocide-case-israel-south-africa.html\" title=\"\">strongly denied the genocide accusation at the court<\/a>, and it has long rejected the comparison of Israel\u2019s treatment of the Palestinians to apartheid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump has also been critical of what he perceives as South Africa\u2019s cozy relationship with Iran and Hamas; South Africa has recently engaged diplomatically with both of them. Those could be pressure points that Mr. Ramaphosa will have difficulty deflecting.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-386539d0\">A new trade deal<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While the future of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/11\/03\/world\/africa\/us-africa-agoa-suspensions.html\" title=\"\">a preferential trade program for sub-Saharan African countries<\/a> remains in doubt, Mr. Ramaphosa plans to propose <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/05\/world\/africa\/south-africa-trump-trade.html\" title=\"\">a trade deal for South Africa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Magwenya declined to offer specifics of the proposal, but has said that it could look at areas in which the two nations could increase trade, such as the energy sector.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">South African officials believe that appealing to Mr. Trump\u2019s economic and business interests would be the best way to get past the deep philosophical differences they have with him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2023, South Africa exported $13.9 billion worth of goods to the United States and was the biggest market in sub-Saharan Africa for American imports, taking in $7.2 billion worth of goods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/19\/world\/africa\/south-africa-white-genocide-trump-ramaphosa.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Africa has been a focus of President Trump\u2019s criticism in his second term.
