Speaking to the media on South Africa-US relations at the WEF annual meeting in Davos, President Cyril Ramaphosa says that he is 'not worried' about relations between the two countries under US President Donald Trump. Says that when he spoke to Trump 'we both said we're looking forward to continued engagements'. Ramaphosa calls Trump 'a great dealmaker', adding "We have a good dealing with the US, [and am] hopeful that those relations will be retained during the Trump administration."

  • In his keynote to the WEF on 21 Jan, Ramaphosa talked up multilateralism saying “The rights and freedoms of one people cannot really be separated from the rights and freedoms of all people in the world. This is the foundation on which solidarity is built, and we will seek to spread this message and get it fully embraced by the G20.” South Africa holds the G20 presidency in 2025, before handing it over to the US for 2026.
