Trump confronts South African president Ramaphosa over alleged targeting of white farmers

US President Donald Trump confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa during a White House meeting on Wednesday, accusing South Africa's government of failing to act against the killing of white farmers and the alleged confiscation of their land. The meeting, held amid strained ties between the two nations, saw Trump claim that “people are fleeing South Africa for their own safety,” and at one point dimmed the Oval Office lights to play a video of a communist politician singing a controversial anti-apartheid song that includes lyrics about killing farmers. "Their land is being confiscated and in many cases they are being killed," he said.
