US EditionSouth Africans exasperated by Trump's false claims of 'white genocide'
- On Wednesday, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa met U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House in Washington for talks aimed at improving bilateral relations.
- Ramaphosa hoped to discuss trade and cooperation, but Trump focused on false claims that white minority farmers in South Africa face systematic murder and land seizures.
- Trump played a video and showed articles to support his allegations, while South Africa rejects these claims as baseless and notes that most murder victims are Black amid a high national crime rate.
- In 2024, authorities in South Africa reported a total of 26,232 homicide cases across the country, with just 44 connected to rural farming areas; during a tense meeting, President Ramaphosa remained composed and expressed openness to addressing concerns raised.
- The confrontation has worsened U.S.-South Africa relations, with repercussions including aid cuts and ambassador expulsions, while trade worth £6 billion and diplomatic ties face ongoing challenges.

Both share a taste for the refined leisure of the moneyed global elite — golf for Trump, fly fishing for …
Mr. Trump Ambushes the South African Genocide Apologist » The American Spectator | USA News and Politics
The thing about Donald Trump’s presidency that saddens me most is that he has less than four (or eight) years left in the White House. That’s it. There never will be another like him, certainly not in the near future. Possibly never. It took an Obama to give us a Trump, just as it took a doddering, lost Biden, in slow motion, to give him back to us, just as it took a completely failed Jimmy Carter to give us a Reagan. That’s how it works. Americ…
