US President Donald Trump confronted his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa, over widely discredited claims of a white genocide in South Africa, during an Oval Office meeting on Wednesday.

Mr Trump said that white farmers are “fleeing South Africa”, playing footage to the room showing people chanting “kill the Boer, kill the farmer”.

Responding, Mr Ramaphosa condemned the chants but pushed back against claims of white persecution.

      I hate all the ai stuff that flies on the internet (because it’s low effort), but I have a soft spot for the ai-gif where Zelenskyy hits him during their Oval Office meeting.
