President Cyril Ramaphosa has extended his congratulations to newly re-elected US President Donald Trump . In a brief statement, Ramaphosa expressed his anticipation for the continuation of the close and mutually beneficial partnership between the two nations. South Africa is attending the 2025 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, with President Ramaphosa leading a delegation focused on positioning the country as an attractive investment destination.
The President's participation marks a significant return to the WEF after several years, with the delegation primarily comprising business and government representatives. Ramaphosa reaffirmed his government's commitment to collaboration with all stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of partnerships in addressing critical challenges facing the nation. South Africa aims to showcase its experiences with societal cooperation and encourage global companies to collaborate with governments, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders in emerging markets to foster sustainable and inclusive growth. Meanwhile, Trump's return to the White House is a prominent topic of discussion in Davos, given his promises of significant policy shifts with potential global economic repercussions. These include imposing substantial tariffs on other major economies, re-evaluating long-standing military and diplomatic alliances, reforming multilateral institutions, and reversing numerous US regulations. Trump has pledged to initiate a series of executive orders on his first day in office to initiate a comprehensive restoration of America. He has asserted that under his leadership, the US decline will end. Trump has outlined his intention to declare a national emergency at the Southern border, aiming to halt all illegal entries into the US and deport undocumented and criminal aliens. Furthermore, he has prioritized the country and its constitution, declaring that the federal government recognizes only two sexes - male and female - a move that reverses protections for transgender individuals established during the previous administration
