Donald Trump Accuses South Africa of White Farmer Genocide During Oval Office Meeting
During an Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, U.S. President Donald Trump showcased videos alleging that white farmers in South Africa face genocide. Trump claimed these farmers were fleeing their land due to persecution, despite the lack of evidence for his assertions. Ramaphosa attempted to respond but struggled to speak amid Trump’s interruptions. The meeting raised tensions, as Trump has aggressively targeted South Africa since regaining office, and recently, 49 Afrikaners were recognized as refugees by the U.S.
