JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa’s top law enforcement official said Friday that U.S. President Donald Trump wrongly claimed that a video he showed in the Oval Office was of burial sites for more than 1,000 white farmers and he “twisted” the facts to push a false narrative about mass killings of white people in his country.
Trump showed a Congo video screenshot, wrongly claiming it showed killings in South Africa. In the Oval Office, Trump told President Ramaphosa, “These are white farmers,” showing photos as false proof.
