Trump ambushes S. African leader with claim of Afrikaners being 'persecuted'

In an Oval Office meeting on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with allegations of a "white genocide" targeting white South African farmers.

The encounter was initially intended to discuss trade and diplomatic relations, but escalated into heated exchanges as President Trump presented a video featuring clips of South African politicians inciting violence against white farmers.

Trump argued that these clips were evidence that there was a systematic campaign against the white minority in South Africa.

Ramaphosa stayed calm, but disputed Trump's allegations, saying that black people were more likely to be victims of violence in the country than white people.

He also said that his government does not endorse any form of racial violence or related policies.
