South African leader and Trump will meet next week after US took in white South Africans as refugees
President Donald Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa are scheduled to hold talks at the White House next week. The South African government announced the meeting Wednesday. It follows allegations by Trump, which South Africa denies, that “genocide” is being committed against white farmers there. The meeting also comes after the Trump administration’s resettlement of 59 white South Africans as refugees in the United States earlier this week. Ramaphosa says Trump’s criticisms are based on misinformation about South Africa’s laws. He says whites in the majority Black country are not being singled out for persecution.
