President Donald Trump and President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa had a tense meeting at the White House on May 21, where Trump displayed a video that he claimed showed evidence of a genocide of white people in South Africa. Trump stated that the video proved his concerns were valid and that white people were being executed in South Africa, but Ramaphosa disputed this and stated that black people were more likely to be victims of violence in the country. The meeting was a continuation of the escalating tensions between the US and South Africa since Trump took office and froze aid to South Africa in February over claims of mistreating its minority white population.

1. You do allow them to take land, and then when they take the land, they kill the white farmer, and when they kill the white farmer, nothing happens to them.
2. White South Africans are fleeing because of the violence and racist laws.

1. President Ramaphosa came here not for a TV show, he came here to discuss with President Trump in earnest how we can reset the strategic relationship between South Africa and the US.
2. There is no evidence of what's being claimed here. The US has very sophisticated intelligence gathering… they'll tell you that what is being propagated here is completely false.
Cyril Ramaphosa
African National Congress Party
1. The trade relations are the most important, that's what brought us here. We want to come out of the United States with a really good trade deal.
2. What you saw - the speeches that were made... that is not government policy.
3. I have agreed that we're going to meet again, and we will meet at the G20 by meeting again.
4. We are very rational when it comes to discussing global and geopolitical matters. We will put South African positions first, and our foreign policy positions will be clarified.
5. If there was Afrikaner farmer genocide, I can bet you these three gentlemen would not be here, including my Minister of Agriculture.
6. The courts [have] emphasised the need to understand the song within its historical and political context, not as a literal incitement to violence, but as a symbolic act of resistance embedded in the country's liberation struggle.

1. We have a real safety problem in South Africa, and I don't think anyone wants to candy-coat that.
2. Certainly, the majority of South Africa's commercial and smallholder farmers really do want to stay in South Africa and make it work.

1. All races must be on equal footing in South Africa. That is the right thing to do. Do not replace one set of racist laws with another set of racist laws, which is utterly wrong and improper.
2. Very few people know that there is a major political party in South Africa that is actively promoting white genocide.
3. I am in an absurd situation where I was born in South Africa but cannot get a licence to operate Starlink because I am not Black.

1. It's not only White farmers. It's across the board. We need technological help. We need Starlink at every little police station. We need drones.
2. You and I lived in New York in the 70s. We never thought that New York could be what it became.
Milton Nkosi
1. It is absolutely absurd to sit and watch the president of the most powerful country in the world telling the man who negotiated to end apartheid, who was locked up in solitary confinement, that there's White genocide in South Africa, which is a lie. That is crazy.
John Endres
South African Institute of Race Relations
1. Farm murders in South Africa are a brutality of a special kind.
2. These crimes are characterized by senseless violence, directed at vulnerable people like elderly farmers and their families.
