In a tense White House encounter, U.S. President Donald Trump confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with graphic videos and news reports alleging violence against white farmers. Trump showed footage of burial sites marked with white crosses, claiming they were victims of “white genocide.” Ramaphosa denied the allegations, stating most crime victims in South Africa are Black and questioned the video’s origin. Trump has previously accused South Africa of targeting white landowners and cut U.S. aid over its land reform policies. Pretoria insists the genocide narrative distorts its post-apartheid reality and undermines efforts to address racial inequality through land redistribution. (PC: India Today)
