President Cyril Ramaphosa “just keeps upping the ante” in his dealings with US President Donald Trump, but he “has no advantage”. So says US intelligence analyst, retired Colonel Chris Wyatt. “I think that he wants sanctions…I think he wants to be punished so he can play the role of martyr…I don't know who he thinks is going to come rescue South Africa….” Wyatt says that China, Russia, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, members of BRICS, have not stepped forward to offer anything to fill the gap left by the United States, nor has the European Union.. As for the alleged influence of Elon Musk on foreign policy towards South Africa, he says: “It's not Elon Musk; this predates it. It's been building for a long time…” Wyatt also gives feedback on his meetings with the Afrikaner delegation currently in the States; gives his take on possible sanctions, the future of AGOA - and the permanent loss of PEPFAR. He further explains what is behind Trump’s Russia strategy.
