This move aims to mend the deteriorating relationship between South Africa and the U.S. under Trump's presidency, characterized by accusations against the South African government related to race and foreign policy issues. Amid the upcoming G20 summit, Trump expressed doubts about South Africa's ability to host the event, further complicating bilateral ties.
