1:12:50Now PlayingWatch live coverage as President Donald Trump meets with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House on Wednesday in an effort to improve relations between the two countries after months of tensions. The United States admitted 59 white South Africans as refugees this month after they claimed they were fleeing violence and discrimination. Trump and top adviser Elon Musk, who was born in South Africa, have claimed the Afrikaners, white descendants of Dutch and French settlers, were targets of a "genocide." South African leaders have fiercely disputed the claims. Ramaphosa told reporters Tuesday that his visit Wednesday would focus on potential trade and investment deals, as well as aim to “consolidate good relations between our two countries.” Trump has accused South Africa of being "terrible" to farmers, and in February he said the United States would cut off aid to the country, alleging on Truth Social that South Africa was "treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY."
