Trump Accuses Ramaphosa of 'White Genocide' in Tense White House Meeting
A tense meeting between former US President Donald Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House took an unexpected turn when Trump presented evidence alleging a 'white genocide' in South Africa. Trump showed images and articles to support his claims of systematic persecution of white farmers. Ramaphosa vehemently denied these accusations, stating that violence in South Africa impacts all communities. "Such accusations are baseless and do not reflect the reality of our multi-party democracy," Ramaphosa reportedly stated. Trump countered by presenting pictures of crosses, claiming they were graves of murdered farmers. However, Ramaphosa clarified that these were part of a symbolic protest. The incident highlights the complexities of international relations and the potential for misinformation to escalate tensions. The meeting, initially focused on trade, was significantly impacted by this disagreement.
