The US President is confronted with the South African leader with claims for Africa “pursued”

US President Donald Trump seemed to be placing his South African colleague in the White House on Wednesday, collaborating a video of a video that Trump said he supported his claim that white farmers were “chased” in the country.

The footage shown during a press conference with Cyril Ramafosa is supposed to show the graves of the killed farmers. Trump did not say where it was filmed and the frames were not checked by the BBC.

Ramafosa – seems to weigh carefully how to answer – it disputes Trump’s claim. He said blacks are much more likely to be victims of violence in South Africa than white people.

Trump also said he would seek an “explanation” from his guest on widely discredited claims about white “genocide” in South Africa.

Ramafosa came to the White House on Wednesday for trade negotiation to reset American African relations.

He hoped to fascinate Trump with the inclusion of two of the most famous golfers in South Africa in the delegation. Ramafosa also came equipped with a gift from a huge book featuring his country’s golf courses.

But after a heart start, the mood in the oval office shifted when Trump asked the lighting to be lowered so that a video could be released.

The film included the voice of the leading figure of the opposition opposition Julius Malema, singing the song: “Shoot Bur (Africa), shoot the farmer.”

He also showed a field of crosses that the US president talking about the images said it was a place to funeral for white farmers.

He then handed Ramafosa what looked like printout stories of white people who were attacked in South Africa.

“What you saw – the statements that were made … This is not a government policy,” Ramafosa replied.

“In South Africa, we have a multi -party democracy that allows people to express themselves.

“Our government policy is completely against what he (Malema) said even in parliament, and they are a small minority party that is allowed to exist according to our constitution.”

Ramafosa said he hoped Trump would listen to the voices of South Africans on the subject.

The South African leader pointed to the white members of his delegation, including golfers Ernie Els and Retif Goosen and the worst man in South Africa Johan Rupert.

“If there was a genocide, these three gentlemen would not be here,” Ramafosa said.

Trump interrupted, “But you allow them to take the land, and then when they take the earth, they kill the white farmer, and when they kill the white farmer, nothing happens to them.”

“No,” Ramafosa replied.

Trump seems to refer to a controversial law signed by Ramafosa earlier this year, which allows the government to seize private land without compensation in some circumstances. The South African government says that land has not yet been seized under the law.

Speaking to Trump on Wednesday, Ramafosa admitted that there was “crime in our country … People who kill themselves through criminal activity are not only white people, the bigger part of them are black people.”

As Trump pressed the question, Ramafosa remained calm – and tried to make his charm, making a joke about offering a US plane.

He referred to the name of the icon of the antipartheid Nelson Mandela, saying that South Africa remains involved in racial reconciliation.

When a journalist asked what would happen if the white farmers leave South Africa, Ramafosa diverted the issue to his White Agriculture Minister John Steinhuyzen, who said most farmers wanted to stay.

But Trump continued to shoot Salvois in Ramafosa, who avoided entering a calling match with him – something that happened to Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski when he met Trump in the same room in February.

Earlier this month, a group of 59 white South Africans arrived in the United States, where they were given refugee status. Ramafosa said that at the time they were “cowards”.

Before the White House meeting on Wednesday, South Africa leader stressed that improving trade relations with the United States was his priority.

South African exports to the United States collided with a 30% tariff after a pause for new Trump imports taxes ended in July.

Tensions between South Africa and the US increased days after Trump took office for his second term in January.

It is at this point that Ramafosa signed the controversial bill that allows the South Africa government to alienate private land when it is considered “fair and in public interest”.

This move serves only to reduce the image of the largest economy in Africa in the eyes of the Trump administration – already angry with its genocide case against Israel in the International Court of Justice.

In February, the US President announced the suspension of critical aid for South Africa and proposed to allow members of the Africa Community Community – who are mainly white descendants of early Dutch and French settlers – to settle in the United States as refugees.

South Africa’s ambassador to Washington, Ebrahim Rasol, was also kicked out in March after accusing Trump of Mobilizing the Running and trying to “design the white victim as a dog whistle.”
