Trump ambushes South African president in Oval Office with claims of ‘white persecution’ | BBC News

US President Donald Trump has confronted South Africa Leader Cyril Ramaphosa with a video over discredited claims of a “white genocide” in South Africa.

The footage, shown during a news conference, purported to show the gravesites of murdered farmers. The US president said the video supported his claim that white farmers were being "persecuted" in the country, but did not say where it was filmed.

Ramaphosa – who appeared to weigh up carefully how to respond – disputed Trump’s allegation. He said black people were far more likely to be victims of violence in South Africa than white people.
