South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is visiting Washington to mend strained relations with President Trump and discuss business prospects for Elon Musk’s companies. The visit comes after tensions sparked by U.S. criticisms and aid cuts. Ramaphosa aims to promote a broad trade deal and encourage investments from Musk’s ventures like Tesla and Starlink. However, the Trump administration seeks exemptions for U.S. companies from South Africa’s racial equity laws. The talks are seen as a key step toward improving diplomatic and economic ties between the two countries.
