World Leader Recalls How ‘Truly Uninformed’ Trump Was During Meeting-Turned-‘Spectacle’
HuffPost
“We are rather amazed at the attention he gives to us. We are a small country, and we are no threat to the United States,” the leader said.
South Africa’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, condemned U.S. President Donald Trump’s refugee policy favoring white Afrikaners as “racist” in an interview with The New York Times published Thursday.
“I just thought that he is so uninformed, truly uninformed,” Ramaphosa said. “I realized that he is looking at South Africa through a completely, sort of, foggy lens, without realizing the real, real harm that apartheid did. In my view, he was just dismissive.”
Ramaphosa described his meeting with Trump last year as a “spectacle” and an “ambush,” where the U.S president baselessly accused him of not doing enough to stop “white genocide” in his country before proceeding to play a misinterpreted video and pointing to printouts of articles claiming mass killings.
Trump welcomed 59 white refugees from South Africa last year, has imposed steep tariffs and has cut American aid. Ramaphosa has disputed Trump’s claims that white Afrikaners are being racially persecuted.
“I do think the Afrikaner policy is racist,” Ramaphosa told the Times. “It is that racist sort of demeanor that we want to be able to whittle down so that he can see the truth of the situation.”
