Donald Trump has falsely claimed that Australia is being “inundated” with white South Africans who have fled their farms, repeating a baseless conspiracy theory that white people in South Africa are being systematically murdered and their land expropriated.
The US president held a chaotic meeting with the South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, in the Oval Office of the White House, during which played a video he falsely claimed proved “genocide” was being committed against white people in South Africa, under what he described as “the opposite of apartheid”.
