Trump Stuns South African President with 'White Genocide' Claims. A meeting intended to ease US-South Africa tensions took an unexpected turn when President Donald Trump accused South Africa of persecuting white farmers. During a live news conference with South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa, Trump played a video showing crosses he claimed were burial sites for murdered white farmers and handed Ramaphosa printouts of attacks on White people in South Africa, echoing widely discredited claims of a "white genocide”. The claims came just a week after the US granted asylum to 59 Afrikaners, which had already upset South Africa. Ramaphosa, who visited the White House to discuss improving trade relations, was caught off guard by the video and comments. Despite his focus on trade, with South African exports facing high tariffs, the meeting shifted when Trump demanded an "explanation" from Ramaphosa. Ramaphosa firmly rejected Trump’s claims, emphasizing that such views are not government policy and reflect the opinions of a small minority party in South Africa, protected by the country’s democratic constitution.
