Badlands Media Special Coverage - President Trump Meeting with South African President, May 21, 2025

In this high-stakes meeting, President Trump hosts South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House for a wide-ranging and at times tense discussion on trade, investment, and escalating violence against white farmers in South Africa. The conversation pivots from golf diplomacy to accusations of land seizures, political incitement, and genocide. Trump confronts Ramaphosa with graphic footage and statistics, while Ramaphosa urges renewed partnership, denies government-endorsed persecution, and emphasizes shared goals for peace, growth, and crime reduction. Both leaders ultimately agree on the need for open dialogue, economic collaboration, and mutual investment heading into South Africa’s G20 presidency.
