Trump confronts South African president about widespread killing of White farmers in the country

Trump highlights ‘genocide’ of white farmers to South African president during White House meeting, telling him, ‘White South Africans are fleeing because of the violence and racist laws.’

President Donald Trump confronted the South African president with video evidence of persecution and murder against White farmers during a White House press meeting.

During a televised meeting between South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Trump on May 21, the U.S. president addressed the persecution of White farmers in South Africa.

“We have many people that feel they are being persecuted, and they are coming to the United States. We take from many locations if we feel there is persecution or genocide going on,” Trump said.

Addressing Ramaphosa directly, he added: “Generally, they are White farmers and they are fleeing South Africa, and it’s very sad to see, but I hope we can have an explanation of that because I know you don’t want that.”

Trump then showed Ramaphosa and all the present members of the press a video compilation that included speeches by Julius Malema, the leader of South Africa’s communist Economic Freedom Fighters party, openly calling for the killing of White people in South Africa.

Malema is seen galvanizing his supporters at a party event, singing a song that calls for the killing of the White farmers. “Kill the Boer, the farmer!” he shouts into the microphone. Boers are the descendants of Dutch-speaking settlers in Southern Africa.

The video also included a roadside memorial with thousands of white crosses, representing the graves of those killed in attacks on farms.

“These are burial sites. Right here. Burial sites, over a thousand of white farmers and those cars are lined up to pay love on a Sunday morning,” Trump said.

The U.S. president continued to shine a light on the violence against White farmers in front of Ramaphosa, holding up a stack of articles that reported on individual attacks on farms.

“A correct and a fair media exposes things. But we have a very corrupt media,” Trump stressed. “They won’t even report this. If this were the other way around, it would be the biggest story.”

“All we know is we are being inundated with people, White farmers from South Africa. It’s a big problem,” he added.

Ramaphosa responded that the speeches seen in the video “are not government policy.”

“Our government policy is completely against what he was saying,” he stated, adding that “they are a small minority party which is allowed to exist in terms of our constitution.”

He also insisted that criminal activity in the country is not only directed against White people.

Trump criticized the South African government for passing laws that allow it to expropriate land without payment.

“They’re taking people’s land away, and in many cases, those people are being executed, and in many cases, it’s not the government that’s killing them. It’s people that kill them and then take their land, and nothing happens to them.”

Both Ramaphosa and his white agriculture minister insisted that they vehemently oppose the murderous rhetoric in the videos. However, Ramaphosa has been a leader in the cause of expropriating land and “redistributing” it without compensation to its previous owners. In a speech given in December 2017 to the African National Congress, Ramaphosa said: “The land of our forefathers and our foremothers must return to our people without any fail and without any payment of compensation.”

One dead, over 60 injured after Iranian missiles pierce Iron Dome

Quick Hit:

Iran launched four waves of missile attacks Friday night, breaching Israel’s defenses and killing at least one person. Over 60 others were injured, with the IDF confirming direct strikes on civilian areas in Tel Aviv and central Israel.

Key Details:

  • The Israel Defense Forces reported four rounds of Iranian missile fire, with at least ten missiles making impact inside Israel.

  • One person was killed and 63 wounded, including several in critical condition, according to The Jerusalem Post.

  • The IDF said Iran deliberately targeted civilians, contrasting its own earlier strikes that focused on Iranian military assets.

Diving Deeper:

Several Iranian missiles broke through Israel’s air defenses during Friday night’s attack, striking Tel Aviv and other civilian areas. According to The Jerusalem Post, at least 63 people were wounded and one person was killed after four waves of Iranian ballistic missile strikes hit cities across Israel.

The IDF reportedly said roughly 100 missiles were fired in total. While the Iron Dome intercepted many, multiple missiles made it through and exploded in densely populated areas. Dramatic video showed a missile striking near downtown Tel Aviv, sending fire and debris into the air as people ran for cover.

Army Radio confirmed that ten missiles landed inside Israel between the first two waves. By the time the third and fourth waves hit, injuries had climbed sharply, with several listed in critical condition. The one fatality was reported late Friday night.

The Israeli Home Front Command temporarily allowed civilians to exit shelters but quickly reversed that guidance, urging residents to stay near protected areas amid fears of further attacks.

The IDF emphasized the nature of the targets, calling out Iran for targeting civilians. The IDF also released maps showing where air raid sirens were triggered throughout the night. Though Israel’s Home Front Command briefly allowed civilians to exit shelters, it advised them to remain nearby in case of continued strikes. As of late Friday, Iranian officials claimed a fifth wave could follow.

With tensions still high, Israeli defense officials are preparing for potential further escalation—and weighing how to respond to a direct Iranian attack on civilians.

Iran nuclear talks were ‘coordinated deception’ between US and Israel: report

Reports state that U.S. peace talks were a ruse and that Trump gave Netanyahu a ‘green light’ to hit Iran’s nuclear and military sites, killing top commanders.

A senior Israeli official told the Jerusalem Post that Tel Aviv and Washington worked together to convince Tehran that diplomacy was still possible after Israel was ready to attack Iran. Just hours before Israel’s massive assault began, President Donald Trump maintained he was still committed to talks.

The Israeli outlet reports, “The round of U.S.-Iranian nuclear negotiations scheduled for Sunday was part of a coordinated U.S.-Israeli deception aimed at lowering Iran’s guard ahead of Friday’s attack.”

In a post on Truth Social shortly before the Israeli strikes began, Trump declared that “We remain committed to a Diplomatic Resolution to the Iran Nuclear Issue! My entire Administration has been directed to negotiate with Iran. They could be a Great Country, but they first must completely give up hopes of obtaining a Nuclear Weapon. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

After the Israeli attack was in progress, Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied that the U.S. was involved. However, American officials have said the White House was aware Israel was set to begin striking Iran, with Trump telling Fox News he was briefed on the operation.

Barak Ravid of Axios, moreover, later reported that Tel Aviv was given “a clear U.S. green light” to start bombing, citing two unnamed Israeli officials.

Sources speaking with Axios said the perceived split between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was coordinated behind the scenes. “Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aides were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public – and didn’t express opposition in private,” the report explained. “The goal, they say, was to convince Iran that no attack was imminent and make sure Iranians on Israel’s target list wouldn’t move to new locations.”

The sources said that Trump and Netanyahu discussed the attack during a phone call on Monday. After the call, reports said Trump pressed Netanyahu not to attack Iran, but that was another effort to deceive Iran.

In a second post following the attack, Trump said he gave Iran the opportunity to make a deal, and suggested that Israel used American weapons in the massive air raid. “I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to ‘just do it,’ but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done,” the president wrote.

The U.S. and Iran began negotiations on establishing a new nuclear agreement in April, with the two sides engaging in five rounds of Omani-mediated talks. At times, a deal appeared possible, with Iranian officials saying the dialogue was leading to progress. A sixth round of talks was scheduled for Sunday, but now appears unlikely.

A second source speaking with the Jerusalem Post said the goal of Israel’s military operations was not the complete destruction of Iran’s nuclear facilities, but rather to hit missile sites and top Iranian leaders to bring down the government.

Israel has conducted several rounds of strikes so far, hitting nuclear facilities, residential buildings in Tehran, and military sites. Iran has confirmed that several military leaders and nuclear scientists were killed in the bombing.
