South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has arrived at the White House for his meeting with President Donald Trump, moments after the dramatic collapse of a military member outside.
The serviceman had been holding a flag as part of the White House's official welcome to Ramaphosa, when he suddenly fell to the ground at the entrance to the president's official residence. Officials were seen rushing to attend him, before assisting him up and away from the entrance.
Just a few minutes later, the South African arrived. Trump stepped outside to greet Ramaphosa and the pair shared an apparently friendly handshake before disappearing inside the White House for their meeting.
It is an unexpected start to what is expected to be a tense meeting after Trump, and several of his senior officials, have accused Ramaphosa's government of allowing a "genocide" of the country's white farmers. Trump even recently welcomed dozens of white "refugees" from South Africa, despite clamping down on refugees and migrants from other nations.
Ramaphosa has strongly denied the allegations and asked for the meeting with Trump to try and recover South Africa's dire relationship with the United States.
