Biden set to talk Ukraine, Russia with South Africa's Ramaphosa
"The goal is to have a conversation about the conflict in Ukraine: how we got there, and how we get out of it, and in hearing from President Ramaphosa about his thoughts on the best way forward, sharing ours on how to manage the conflict and to reach a conclusion," said the senior Biden administration official.
Ramaphosa's African National Congress party, which has governed South Africa since white minority rule ended in 1994, had strong ties to the former Soviet Union, which trained and supported anti-apartheid activists during the Cold War. Last month, during his visit to South Africa, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States would not dictate Africa's choices, following an earlier pledge to "do things differently," after former U.S. President Donald Trump's insulting remarks about African countries.Africans often resent being a theater for competition between China, Russia and the Western order.
