US President Donald Trump hosted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa for a significant meeting aimed at improving fraught bilateral relations. During the encounter, Trump unexpectedly played a video making disputed claims about a supposed genocide against white farmers in South Africa, which visibly disturbed Ramaphosa. This tension overshadowed the discussion, even as Ramaphosa attempted to offer a broad trade deal to strengthen ties with the US. Despite the awkwardness, Ramaphosa later stated that their meeting went 'very well.'
As the visit began, Trump dramatically confronted Ramaphosa with a video and documents making disputed claims of "persecution" and "genocide" against White South African farmers.
Despite those tense scenes, Ramaphosa told reporters that "it went very well" as he left the White House after their meeting.
