Trump Confronts Ramaphosa Over White Genocide Claims, Says White Farmers Being Killed

US President Donald Trump ambushed South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday (May 21) by playing him a video that he claimed proved genocide is being committed against white people, driving farmers to flee to the United States.The extraordinary stunt turned the usually staid diplomatic setting of the Oval Office into a stage for Trump’s contention that white South African farmers are being forced off their land and killed.With reporters present, Trump had staff put the four-minute video on a large screen, saying it showed black South African politicians calling for the persecution of white people. “You do allow them to take land, and then when they take the land, they kill the white farmer, and when they kill the white farmer, nothing happens to them,” Trump said. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION2:20 “NOBODY CAN TAKE LAND”4:18 “SORRY I DON’T HAVE A PLANE TO GIVE YOU”6:06 IS ELON MUSK THE KEY DRIVER OF ‘WHITE GENOCIDE’ CLAIMS?8:20 TRUMPS TELLS REPORTER TO “GET OUT” FOR ASKING ABOUT QATARI JET
