The President of the United States, Donald Trump, recently wrapped up a working visit to the Middle East and Asia where he has been signing landmark deals, including trade agreements with several Asian countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Among the U.S. president's delegation is a Ghanaian man, Bernard Mensah, who was captured on camera in a discussion with President Trump and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman.

Bernard Mensah's older brother, Herbert Mensah, President of the Rugby Africa and member of the Executive Board of World Rugby, as well as the Chairman of the Regions of World Rugby, shared a screen recording of the moment on Facebook.

Herbert Mensah captioned the video thus: "Bernard Mensah. Immensely proud of my younger brother. Proof of Ghanaian/African greatness and potential around the world!"
