(a year ago)Donald Trump attacked South Africa's president, Cyril Ramaphosa, whom he called “controvers” in several circles, speaking of a so-called “genocide” of white farmers in his country. For his part, Ramaphosa responded with irony: “I'm sorry I don't have a plane to give you”, [...]
For his part, Ramaphosa responded with irony: “I'm sorry I don't have a plane to give you”, referring to the change of Air Force One.
Waiting for Ramaphosa at the White House, Trump initially said it was “a great honour” to have close to South Africa's president, who is the most truly respected “in several circles”, but “less respected in some other”.
The American president said he has serious concerns about the situation in South Africa and wants to discuss them with Ramaphosa.
We have a lot of people who feel persecuted and come to the States. We accept people from many lands when we feel there is persecution or genocide. They're usually white farmers leaving South Africa and... It's sad to see. But I hope we have an explanation for that, because I know that you don't want that”, he added.
The White House staff then showed videos describing genocide claims against Africans, descendants of white settlers.
Ramaphossa remained silent during the show, but then said the white crosses displayed on some images were “something I've never seen before”.
I'd like to know where this is, because I've never seen these” videos, he stressed. The images showed dozens of cars carrying “families” white farmers fleeing their lands. Trump insisted, showing Ramaphosa photocopies of articles on white people in South Africa and saying: “are killing”
I don't know what I want Ramaphosha to do about this” situation, he continued.
When a journalist asked him why he invited a man charged with genocide to the White House, Trump replied: "I haven't decided yet. I'm trying to save my life”
South Africa's president assured Trump that “this is not government policy” and that his policy is “the opposite of what you describe”. He stressed that “in our country has criminality. People who get killed are not just white”
You are a South African partner and have raised some concerns. I'm willing to talk to you about”, Ramaphosa added.
Ironically, Ramaphosa commented: “I'm sorry I don't have a plane to give you”. Trump replied in a mood: “If you brought it to me, I'd take”./Periscopi/
