Summary
Trump falsely claimed South Africa is being inundated with white farmers fleeing for their land, accusing them of being systematically targeted and murdered. During a chaotic Oval Office meeting, he presented a video alleging genocide against whites in South Africa, while Ramaphosa denied the claims, noting crime rates are high but victims are predominantly Black. Trump has supported humanitarian aid programs for white South Africans despite their denial from South Africa, with Australia's small refugee intake from the region and the US targeting Afrikaners as refugees amid criticism of it being akin to global apartheid.
