US EditionTrump Shows Video Claiming 'White Genocide' to South African President in Oval Office Meeting
- On Wednesday, President Trump held discussions with South Africa’s leader, Cyril Ramaphosa, inside the Oval Office, focusing on allegations that white farmers in South Africa are facing a targeted campaign of violence described as genocide.
- Trump amplified allegations that white farmers, also called Afrikaners, are being killed and their land confiscated, while Ramaphosa and many experts denied any genocide is occurring.
- During the meeting, Trump showed a video with inflammatory language and an unverified burial site said to contain thousands of white farmers, stirring tension as Ramaphosa disputed these claims.
- Government data reports 6,953 murders in South Africa from October to December 2024, with a South African judge rejecting the genocide claim as "clearly imagined" and "not real."
- The debate reflects deep divisions over South Africa’s Expropriation Act, which Ramaphosa defended as constitutional, while some Afrikaners fear it threatens their land ownership and property values.
