This comes after the former Deputy Minister of Finance, labelled American President Donald Trump as a racist and homophobe in 2020 after Joe Biden won the American Presidential race.
Meanwhile media reports states that , Presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya says comments made by Jonas about Trump were made in his personal capacity and that political issues such as the tariff situation should be kept separate from personal opinions.
“We believe President Trump and members of his administration will have an appreciation that in politics things do get said but doesn’t mean people are beholden to those positions. Equally unkind remarks have been said about the African continent by President Trump and there is no African leader who holds those comments against him. There is a sense that everyone wants to move forward positively in terms of the relationship with the United States.”
