President Donald Trump on Wednesday confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on the killings of white farmers in the country that Trump called a “genocide” and claimed Ramaphosa’s government is complicit.

“Now I will say, apartheid — terrible,” Trump told Ramaphosa, referring to the South African policy. “This is sort of the opposite of apartheid.”

Trump claimed the story isn’t being covered by the mainstream media.

“Now I will say, apartheid — terrible,” Trump told Ramaphosa, referring to the South African policy. “This is sort of the opposite of apartheid.”

Trump claimed the story isn’t being covered by the mainstream media.

“All we know is we’re being inundated with white farmers from South Africa, and it’s a big problem — the numbers of people who want to leave South Africa because they feel they’re gonna be dead very soon,” he said.

The meeting with Ramaphosa included Trump showing the president video of what he claimed to be burial sites of “over 1,000 white farmers” with vehicles lined up to pay their respects to the dead.

“It’s a terrible site,” Trump said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Ramaphosa pressed the president on where he was getting his information, adding that he had not seen the footage.

“They told you where that is, Mr. President?” he asked Trump. “I’d like to know where that is because this I’ve never seen.”

Trump didn’t get into specifics.

“I mean, it’s in South Africa,” he said.

In South Africa, even some conservative white Afrikaner groups denied the Trump administration’s “genocide” and land seizure claims that led it to cut all financial aid to South Africa.

The minority white Afrikaner community is in the spotlight after the U.S. granted refugee status to at least 49 Afrikaners claiming to flee racial and violent persecution and widespread seizures of white-owned land — despite evidence that such claims are untrue.

At the White House meeting, Ramaphosa denied Trump’s claims, adding that several of his ministers, including his white agricultural minister, would not be in his administration if the allegations were true.

During the tense meeting, Trump held up news articles on the killings.

“Death of people, death, death, death, horrible death,” he said as he placed the printed articles on a nearby table. “White South Africans are fleeing because of the violence and racist laws … ”

Trump claimed Ramaphosa’s government’s policies were directly responsible.

Trump claimed he has “many friends” that can’t go back to South Africa because of the violence.

“Elon is from South Africa,” he said, referring to Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla who has a high-profile role in the Trump administration overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency.

“I don’t want to get Elon involved” in the issue, Trump said. “That’s all I have to do — get him into another thing.”
