During a tense but wide-ranging Oval Office meeting on Wednesday, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa confirmed that global cooperation through multilateral platforms such as the G20 was among the key topics discussed with US President Donald Trump.
Ramaphosa, who currently holds the rotating presidency of the G20, extended a direct invitation to Trump to attend the upcoming summit, scheduled to take place in South Africa later this year.
Emphasising the symbolic and practical importance of US participation, Ramaphosa said he hoped to hand over the presidency “to a full chair, not an empty one.”

The invitation comes amid a period of strained relations between the two countries, with disagreements over land reform, racial violence, and South Africa’s international positions.
Trump has so far refrained from engaging with several G20 processes under Ramaphosa’s chairmanship, and his administration has criticised Pretoria’s recent diplomatic stances, including its case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
