Trump’s False Fantasy About Afrikaner Land

  • On a Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump met South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the Oval Office to discuss issues including land reform and violence in South Africa.
  • The meeting followed Trump's claims of a white genocide targeting mainly white farmers amid South Africa's contentious land restitution law allowing uncompensated expropriation.
  • Trump showed a video alleging systematic violence against white farmers, but Ramaphosa denied these claims, stating no official or court supports the existence of such genocide.
  • In 2024, South Africa recorded 26,232 murders overall, with only eight farmer victims; whites comprise about 7% of the population yet hold roughly 72% of farmland.
  • Following the meeting, the Trump administration fast-tracked asylum for nearly 60 white Afrikaners, illustrating a rare immigration exception amid broader refugee restrictions and raising questions of preferential treatment.
