Former U.S. President Donald Trump sparked diplomatic tension during a high-profile meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday (21 May).
When he presented a controversial video purporting to show evidence of a “genocide” against white farmers in South Africa.
The unexpected move came during Ramaphosa’s official visit to the White House, where discussions were expected to center on U.S.-Africa relations and trade.
However, according to multiple reports, the meeting took an unanticipated turn after formal greetings.
“It’s a terrible sight… I’ve never seen anything like it. Those people are all killed,” Trump reportedly said, dimming the lights in the Oval Office before playing the video.
