South Africa’s finance chief said the government made progress on resetting its relationship with the US and securing a trade deal in talks that took place after President Cyril Ramaphosa’s showdown with Donald Trump at the White House.

President Trump has singled out White Afrikaner farmers for U.S. refugee status, claiming they're persecuted in South Africa. But most people there say it's simply not true.

Trump strongly criticized Ramaphosa’s governing of South Africa, claiming there has been a “genocide” of white farmers.
