US President Donald Trump, throughout a tense White Home assembly, accused South African President Cyril Ramaphosa of not addressing the violence in opposition to white farmers.
“Persons are fleeing South Africa for their very own security,” Trump said.
He highlighted the difficulty by dimming the Oval Workplace lights and exhibiting a video of a communist politician taking part in a controversial anti-apartheid track containing lyrics about killing a farmer. “Their land is being confiscated and in lots of instances they’re being killed,” Trump added.
Ramaphosa defends
South African President Ramaphosa strongly rejected Trump’s accusations throughout the dialogue. “We’re fully against that,” Ramaphosa stated, countering the claims of violence and land confiscation raised by Trump. He aimed to make use of the assembly to appropriate the narrative and enhance the strained relationship between the 2 international locations.
