Trump pushes "genocide" in Oval Office

President Donald Trump derailed a meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday, halting their talk in the Oval Office to play a video about an alleged "white genocide" in Ramaphosa's country. 

While taking questions from reporters, Trump played footage of white crosses along a rural highway in South Africa. The crosses represent the victims of farm attacks in the country since 1990. South Africa-born Trump adviser Elon Musk has been extremely vocal about the plight of white South Africans and seemingly prompted his social media chatbot Grok to promote the idea earlier this month.
