DEMOCRATIC Alli(DA) leader ance John Steenhuisen is on a mission to save South Africa's unravelling relationship with America.

President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to have a showdown with US counterpart Donald Trump this week in Washington DC, with the relationship between the two nations at an all-time low.

Since his return to the White House in January, Trump has stopped financial aid to SA, imposed various tariffs, accused Mzansi of aiding Hamas and persecuting Afrikaners.

Trump supporters, including Pretoria-born Elon Musk, claim that a white genocide is taking place in South Africa, with Afrikaner farms being confiscated by the SA government.
