Trump attacks the South African President in the Oval Office Meeting

PThe resident of Trump asked an adjutant to decorate the lights of the Oval Office, and attack the leader of South Africa with a number of reporters in the room.

The South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and his delegation observed in compatible silence in film material, of which Trump believed that Ramaphosa's government used an eye on violence against white Africans. When Trump identified pictures of crosses along a street as marked graves of murdered white farmers, Ramaphosa said that he had never seen it and would find out where it was turned. The video also showed the South African opposition leaders, who demanded the death of white farmers. Ramaphosa said that he had convicted these comments and his political coalition had been built to make violence.

It was another tense confrontation between Trump and a US ally that was staged by the White House to radiate these tensions in front of the world. Trump turned through what he said, printed news articles about the killed white farmers. “In many cases, these people are executed – they are randomly white and most of them are farmers,” said Trump.

President Ramaphosa said there is a lot of violent crimes in the country, but black and white citizens are both goals. “There is crime in our country. People who are unfortunately killed by criminal activities are not only white people,” said Ramaphosa to Trump.

Ramaphosa repeatedly tried to direct the conversation to safer soil. He said Trump that South Africa offers many opportunities to act minerals to increase American production. He thanked Trump that he had agreed to send breathing apparatus in South Africa during the Covid 19 pandemic. He praised Trump's efforts to negotiate peace agreements in places such as Ukraine, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Ramaphosa's overtures began with an appeal to Trump's love for the Gulf and said that he had given him a “really fantastic” 30 pound book with photographs of the golf courses in South Africa. Ramaphosa said he started “practicing golf” and was ready to play with Trump. He too Brought two legendary South African golfers – Erernie Els and Retief Goosen – the Oval Office to speak to Trump.

Ramaphosa's visit comes in a moment of high tension between South Africa and the Trump government. At the beginning of this month, Trump offered 59 white South Africans, from whom Trump claimed, offered the refugee status to aim for violence.

The South African government was also a vocal defender of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip who destroyed their houses and access to food that was cut by the Israeli military, a position that is frustrated by the Trump government. In December, South Africa submitted a case to the International Court of Justice in which Israel accused “genocidal acts” in Gaza. Israel rejected the allegations as “unfounded”.

Trump started meeting with apparently warm welcome for Ramaphosa, which pointed out the upcoming confrontation. “He is a man who is certainly really respected in some circles, a little less respected in other circles, like all of us in all families,” said Trump. Trump praised the two golfers who came with Ramaphosa and said it was an “honor” to see South African billionaire Johann Rupert, who was opposite Trump behind a couch.

Ramaphosa had personally called Trump to say that he wanted to meet, Trump said. “I don't know where you have my number, but I picked up. He said I wanted to come across and see you. That was my honor. Thank you for being here.”

Ramaphosa said he was there to reset the relationships between South Africa and the USA. The two countries had worked together in space research, trade and energy. Ramaphosa said that he also tried to bring the South African golfer -gary player in Hall of Fame, but the 89 -year -old player said Ramaphosa that he was “more due” in years, “but wishes us luck in this discussion”.

The atmosphere in the room shifted when a reporter Trump asked what it would need to be convinced that there is no genocide against white South Africans. Ramaphosa jumped in to answer the question. “President Trump will require listening to the voices of South Africa – some of them are his friends,” said South African President. Ramaphosa.

Then Trump asked an adjutant to bring him a stack of articles about violent attacks on white farmers and to insulate the lights in order to draw the attention of the room to a large flat screen TV that is set up along a wall of the oval office. Trump played a five -minute video in which claimed to show evidence of the murders of white farmers and South African politicians who demanded racist violence. Elon Musk, who repeatedly posted false claims from genocide against white South Africans on his social media platform X, was on the side of the room and looked at the video carefully.

After the video, Ramaphosa said that the politicians in the video were of a small political party that is not part of his ruling political coalition. He said he sentenced these calls to violence. Ramaphosa said that most murder victims in South Africa are black. Trump interrupted and said: “But the farmers are not black.” Ramaphosa said to Trump: “These are concerns that we want to talk to you about.”

In the next 20 minutes, Ramaphosa and others in the delegation – Repert, Steenhuisen and Zingiswa Losi, union leader – made Trump to convince that the information he had been given was inaccurate or misleading. They urged that South Africa have problems with violence against white and blacks and that the idea that the government is responsible for this murders is simply wrong. At some point, Champion Golfer Els pulled out his passport and said he was a “proud South African” who “bloom” his country.
