Trump confronts South African president with white genocide claims in surreal Oval Office meeting 

Steven Nelson / NEW YORK POST 

President Trump confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa Wednesday with claims that the country is carrying out a genocide of white farmers — ordering the Oval Office’s lights be dimmed to show an inflammatory five-minute video detailing purported evidence of crimes against humanity.

Trump, who said he personally hadn’t “made up my mind” on using the word “genocide,” said that “thousands” of white South Africans are seeking refugee status in the US and that he wants to “save lives.”

The footage played at the meeting showed left-wing populist leader Julius Malema calling for the murder of members of South Africa’s 4.5 million-strong white community, which comprises about 7.3% of the population, and a roadside memorial ostensibly for dozens of murdered white farmers.

“Revolution demands at some point there must be killing,” Malema said in one clip, with several others showing the Economic Freedom Fighters leader dancing in packed stadiums while singing, “kill the Boer, the farmer!”  Read more, and see videos here.

The White House threw its weight behind House Republicans' version of President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" Wednesday, pressing lawmakers to vote on the measure "immediately."

"The Administration strongly supports passage of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act," the White House said in a statement of Trump administration policy obtained by Fox News Digital.

"This bill implements critical aspects of President Trump’s budgetary agenda by delivering bigger paychecks for Americans, driving massive economic growth, unleashing American energy, strengthening border security and national defense, (and) preserving key safety net programs for Americans who need them, while ending waste, fraud, and abuse in Federal spending, and much more."

It comes hours after the conservative House Freedom Caucus called for a delayed vote after continued disagreements over rollbacks to Medicaid coverage. Read more, see video and 'Statement of Administration Policy' here.
