South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's high-stakes visit in Washington, D.C. is set to take place amid rising tensions with the U.S. particularly over President Donald Trump's claims of "genocide" against white farmers in South Africa. Ramaphosa's delegation is expected to meet with Trump tomorrow to discuss bilateral trade and strained diplomatic ties. However, American conservative commentator Joel Pollak believes the talks may be headed for trouble due to Ramaphosa's team bringing the "wrong attitude" by focusing on disputing Trump's claims rather than seeking common ground. Elvis Presslin spoke to Joel Pollak, Senior Editor-at-Large at Breitbart News in the United States to elaborate further on his sentiments.
