Trump-Ramaphosa Meeting: A Clash Over White Farmers and Misinformation

President Trump and South African President Ramaphosa met at the White House on Wednesday. The meeting was marked by tension as Trump accused Ramaphosa of failing to protect white farmers in South Africa, presenting videos that supported unfounded claims of "white genocide." Ramaphosa responded calmly, stating that while there is crime in South Africa, it is not racially targeted. "There is criminality in our country," Ramaphosa said. "People who do get killed unfortunately through criminal activity are not only white people. The majority of them are Black people." The exchange highlights the complexities of race relations and land ownership in post-apartheid South Africa, and the potential for international relations to be affected by misinformation.
