Trump Administration’s focus on SA has only just started - Arron Banks

Loading player...
Entrepreneur Arron Banks shot to prominence during and after the UK’s 2016 Brexit Referendum, where financial support for ‘Leave’ made him the country’s largest-ever political donor. Later that year, Banks and political ally Nigel Farage were Donald Trump’s first foreign visitors after the returned US President’s first shock victory. In this fascinating interview with BizNews editor Alec Hogg, Banks explains why South Africa is key in the Trump Administration’s strategy to address global political imbalances, cautioning about likely consequences from the ANC’s doubling down in its tug of the Eagle’s tail feathers. He also shares his SA connections; the spectacular growth of Farage’s Reform Party (now leading UK polls); and a long-running R150m fraud case against the South African miner who hosted Ramaphosa at the RWC. Banks will speak about Trump and SA at BNC#7.
