Trump to Press South Africa’s President

“President Trump plans to press President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa to roll back the country’s racial equity laws and to do more to protect Afrikaners, a white ethnic minority, in a meeting scheduled at the White House on Wednesday,“ the New York Times reports.

“The meeting comes a little more than a week after the Trump administration welcomed a group of white South Africans to the United States as refugees after they claimed they were persecuted in their home country. Tensions between the two countries have ratcheted up over racial issues, as Mr. Trump’s administration has sought to make global his crusade to eradicate policies around diversity and redressing historical inequities.”
