|Donald Trump attempts to literally humiliate South Africa's president in the Oval Office, confronting him with accusations of white genocide. Cyril Ramaphosa remains matter-of-fact—and even allows himself a joke at the US president's expense.
If "putting on a brave face" were an Olympic sport, South Africa's president would be a strong contender for the gold medal. On Wednesday evening, Washington time, after a memorable day, Cyril Ramaphosa once again addressed the South African press in detail to draw a line under his trip to the USA . Without batting an eyelid, he said that his visit with Donald Trump was, all in all, "a great success": "We achieved what we set out to do."
