A tense atmosphere in the White House. Trump showed the movie. “I don't know how to explain it”
During the tight meeting in the Oval Office, Trump stated that he was accepting white Africanists as refugees in the USA, because in their country there is “genocide”.
Coverage between the presidents of the US and South Africa. “I don't know how to explain it”
– These people are killed in many cases. They are killed and it so happens that they are white, and most of them are farmers, and this is a difficult situation. I don't know how to explain it. How to explain that they take the land from people? And in many cases these people are killed. And in many cases it is not a government who kill them, but then they take their land and nothing happens to them – said Trump. He claimed that America was “flooded” with Africans, wanting to escape from the country, although only a few dozen were adopted so far, and interest in emigration was to express about 8,000.
He also displayed a 4-minute film showing South African radical politicians, shouting the slogans calling for “killing the beetroot”, and-as he claimed-the graves of killed white farmers and their families.
Ramaphosa replied that the politicians presented in the films were representatives of the radical opposition – Julius Malema and former president Jacob Zuma, and his government condemns their rhetoric, does not support the reception of land and claimed that killings are the work of criminals, and their victims are mostly black South Africa.
In a similar tone, the White Minister of Agriculture of South Africa and the leader of the traditionally opposition democratic alliance John Steenhuisen, who said that he joined the government of the African National Congress (ANC) Ramaphos, just to prevent radicals such as Malema. At the same time, he admitted that the problem of farmer safety exists and requires strengthening police funds.
South African Golfers and businessmen invited by Trump also talked about the problems of Africans, including billionaire Johann Rupert.
Earlier, the South African authorities were also accused by the adviser to President Trump – Elon Musk, who, however, did not speak during the meeting, because – as Trump said – it would not be honest with him. Rampaphosa had previously announced that he would talk to Trump about issuing a license on the operation of the Starlink network belonging to Musk. So far this has not been possible due to the provisions requiring that foreign telecommunications operators sell 30 percent. shares of the local branch “historically injured” shareholders.
Trump couldn't stand it. He called the journalist “asshole”
In addition to the problems of Africans, two leaders also talked about the war in Ukraine and the November G20 summit in South Africa, during which South Africa will transfer the leadership in the United States group. Trump said that without the USA G20 there was no reason to be and added that from the G8 group it should not be thrown away by Russia, claiming that if it was not done after the annexation of Crimea by Russia, there would be no Russian invasion in 2022.
During the meeting, Trump repeatedly offended NBC journalist Peter Alexander, calling him “asshole” and “idiot” for asking him a question about the amaine giving a plane, which is to serve as Air Force One. The US president also accused the media of covering up the problems of white farmers.
