President Trump showed South African President Ramaphosa a video claiming to depict a genocide of white farmers, featuring crosses wrongly presented as burial sites. The video, previously shared by Elon Musk, actually commemorated a murdered couple, according to their son, Nathan Rafferty.

The White House defended the video, while South African police clarified farm murder statistics, highlighting the disproportionate focus on white victims.
