South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has taken action to mend relations with Trump. This move is seen as an effort to reduce tensions between the two countries.

Ramaphosa aims to resolve the dispute with the US regarding Trump's discriminatory land policies. He made significant statements at a conference hosted by Goldman Sachs in Johannesburg.

Trump issued a presidential order cutting financial aid to South Africa. Ramaphosa expressed his desire to visit Washington to ease this situation and repair relations.

Ramaphosa stated that they are ready to make a meaningful agreement covering trade, diplomacy, and political issues with the US. However, the details of this agreement are still unclear.

South Africa is concerned that its preferential trade status under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) may be at risk. There are indications that the Trump administration may review this status.
