American vice president of JD VANCEUS Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and several diplomats and journalists, suddenly illuminated a video of alleged evidence that in South Africa Genocide committed by blacks on white men is in progress.

« We have thousands of stories about it, » the US leader continued.

According to the diary The Guardian It was the most difficult meeting since the February briefing with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who then came to the US President to settle tense relations. Trump and Vance before cameras with cameras They accused Greeny of the desire to continue the war.

Ramaphosa came to renew relationships that are considerably damaged for false accusations on Wednesday. The meeting in the White House, however, again acquired an unexpected slope.

Farmers are not blacksi

The situation sharpened when Ramaphos told Trump that there was no genocide in South Africa.

The South African delegation was expecting a confrontational meeting, but nothing could prepare it for the set trap in which it was, TV says CNN With the fact that the more vulnerable the country, the more hostile acceptance it usually gets in an oval office after the latest.

The US President has long claimed that the so -called. African or rebellion, a minority originating mostly from the Dutch colonists who ruled South Africa during the decades of racial apartheid, are persecuted today. Ramaphos rejects similar allegations, referring to the fact that the vast majority of victims in the country with a high degree of murders are blacks.

He acknowledged that there was a high crime in South Africa, but he said most victims were blacks. But Trump interrupted him with the words: « Farmers are not blacks. »

There were also shots in the room that, according to the US President, showed several hundred graves in South Africa, which Ramaphos said he would like to find out where it was happening.

Historical inequalities

The meeting took place only a few days after 59 Africans came to the US to accept Trump’s « refuge » offer – the US President offered each of them a refugee status because of racial discrimination they allegedly experienced in South Africa.

The processing of similar applications in the US often takes months or even years, explains television BBC With the South African group, the accelerated process was given.

The Guardian At the same time, it points out that South Africa is one of the most common companies in the world, but in the opposite guard, as the whites make up seven percent of the population, but own at least half of the South African soil. Relations between countries have been at the lowest point since the end of the apartheid in 1994.

A significant dispute was mainly evoked by the Land expropriation Act, which the South African government signed in January in order to correct the historical inequalities caused by the Government Government.

Ramaphos denied that the law would be used for arbitrary confiscation of soil owned by white, but Trump did not convince. The redistribution of the land was promised by former South African President Nelson Mandela, who played a key role in the end of the apartheid.

However, the dispute is also caused by the action of the genocide that South Africa has filed against Israel For the war in Palestine, a topic that has prompted Trump’s attacks against the South African government.

The South African president brought his own billionaire – South African tycoon Johan Rupert, who owns, for example, the well -known brand Cartier. Rupert to Trump told that high crime in South Africa affects all races.

Ramaphos, however, came to the White House with South African Minister of Agriculture John Steenhisen and the two best golfers of South Africa, Ernie Els and Rettief Goosen.

Trump loves golf, which proves that Ramaphos has taken care of the delegation. Among other things, the group consisted of influential white men.

After moving from the White House of the South African, the president additionally declared that the visit was economically successful, but refused any discrimination against the South Africans. Ramaphosa at the same time according to the daily The New York Times He considers Trump’s refusal to say that he knows with certainty that there is a victory in South Africa. « I think he has doubts about all this. »
