During a White House meeting, President Trump confronted President Ramaphosa of South Africa, making unfounded claims about violence against white farmers. Trump dimmed the lights to showcase a video related to his accusations and reiterated his belief in a supposed genocide against white farmers. Despite his assertions, experts state that violent home invasions occur across all ethnicities in South Africa. Ramaphosa refuted Trump's claims, aiming to foster better bilateral relations, which are currently strained since apartheid's end in 1994.
People are fleeing South Africa for their own safety. Their land is being confiscated and in many cases they're being killed.
We are completely opposed to that... our government policy is completely, completely different from what he said.
According to experts in South Africa, there is no evidence to suggest that whites are being specifically targeted due to their race.
The bilateral relationship currently stands at its lowest level since the end of apartheid in 1994.
