According to a report by Reuters, on May 21st local time, U.S. President Trump met with visiting South African President Ramaphosa at the White House.
On that day, when asked whether the "Starlink" satellite service of Musk, Trump's ally and billionaire, was one of the topics of their discussion, Ramaphosa simply replied: "Was the Starlink issue part of our discussion? No."
Ramaphosa recalled that Musk also attended the lunch he had with Trump. "The only issue he (Musk) raised was that he hoped Tesla cars would be sold in South Africa. Of course, this involves tariff issues. The tariff issue also became part of our discussion," he said.
Bloomberg reported on the 20th, citing sources familiar with the matter, that the South African government plans to allow the "Starlink" satellite service to operate in South Africa in order to ease tensions with Trump.
