South African (SA) President Cyril Ramaphosa on Friday discussed trade, climate, and energy with United States (US) President Joe Biden in a meeting at the White House during Ramaphosa’s working visit to the US.

Biden, who has led an international coalition to punish Russian President Vladimir Putin for the near seven-month war in Ukraine, wants South Africa’s help in efforts that include forcing Moscow to sell its oil at below-market rates. Ramaphosa has resisted joining Washington’s campaign against Moscow for the war in Ukraine.‘The world’s most urgent challenges’for more than an hour on topics that included trade, climate and energy, the White House said.

South Africa was one of 17 African countries to abstain from the United Nations vote condemning Russia’s assault. However, South Africa still enjoys a high level of diplomatic clout among Russia’s rivals in the West relative to its economic size since its peaceful transition to democracy. “We have expressed our discomfort and our opposition,” Ramaphosa said in a video uploaded to Twitter. “We should not be told by anyone who we associate with and we should never be put in positions where we have to choose who our friends are.”

ANCisdisgraceful Loadshedding ANCiscorrupt enough_is_enough shutdowntheANC ShutdowntheANC ShutdowntheANC

The spineless coward,running to lie in the US and leaving the country in darkness. MYANC hates South Africans with a passion

Shame

this one didn't attend the brics summit to appease his masters

Does he even have the capacity to enter discussions into those issues? He was just listening to Biden telling him what to say to SA public upon his return into the country 😂😂

Biden desperate to get SA on the US side, but he won't because we're tied into BRICS and very happy there thx. US never truly cared about trade with SA until now lol

Dollar laugh 😂. He is there to report on the selling out project's progress.

What a fool of a so called president

Let's hope he will come back with a solution to loadshedding🤣🤣👍

Ngoku ke, sithini ke thina ngaloo nto silambile, singenambane.

I’m gradually making more earnings now in my trades but with the aid of a trader that was recommended and now I'm recommending her to y'all EliDonovan01

Rubbish ANC I don't know why blacks want him out when it's the party that's the issue!!

Few months back I had no way of taking care of my kids , had no job or money also struggling through the pandemic,so I decided to try Bitcoin trading with the help of Allison_Grillo I was able to earn $50,000 now am financially stable.

I'm really grateful for all the efforts you have render to me with my little investment of R4000 and with joy over me after withdrawing R50,000 with your help Catherine_nico thank you for everything you have done for me and my family Catherine_nico

He is licking some ass there.

While CyrilRamaphosa talks kak there we have no power here and no one is held accountable. This started with the MYANC in the Zuma years. So when are the black ANC voters held accountable

Look how this weasel off a man even shrinks himself at the presence of a Caucasian man yet they're equals politically 🙄, we are forever doomed as a country, ever since he took the leadership position.

Wonder what orders did Biden gave him,maybe another vaccine for summer or maybe monkey pox. How about a new virus from South Africa?

BS!

He basically went to sign off on his job description 🥴.

I have always hated Bitcoin and thought it was a scam until a friend referred me to fabian_masanja, I made my first withdrawal of R100,000 in 2 weeks thanks to fabian_masanja..

His going to be pressured to kill state owned companies and sell them to Americans at R50 each. His spineless and corrupt to the core. And does not care what anyone else says

Whenever he is on foreign trip Eskom collpses, something is fishy

We are on stage 5

And Biden has zero idea about
