US President Donald Trump confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House on Wednesday over what he described as the “killing” of white farmers in South Africa, a claim Pretoria has repeatedly rejected as false and misleading.
What began as a cordial meeting quickly turned tense when Trump played a video he said showed “burial sites” of white South African farmers. “These are burial sites right here... over a thousand... they're all White farmers,” Trump said, narrating the footage, which showed white crosses lined along a road.
