US President Donald Trump confronted his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa, over widely discredited claims of a white genocide in South Africa, during an Oval Office meeting on Wednesday.
Mr Trump said that white farmers are “fleeing South Africa”, playing footage to the room showing people chanting “kill the Boer, kill the farmer”.
Responding, Mr Ramaphosa condemned the chants but pushed back against claims of white persecution.

Intent on alienating each and every country in the world, except Russia? Surely somebody must have explained to him that that is Not A Good Idea?
Or will it have something to do with the tech bros in the end? Some artless deal?
