It is recalled that during a bilateral meeting at the White House, US President Donald Trump surprised South African President Siril Ramafa, lowering the lights in the Oval Office and displaying the screens a video that – as he claimed – This move turned a formal diplomatic meeting into a political controversy scene, causing apparent embarrassment to Ramafa.
Welcoming Ramafa to the White House, Trump initially said that it was a “great honor” to be with the president of South Africa who is “truly respected in some circles” but “less respected to others”, repeating his allegations of “Genocide”.
