A check of Trump's false claims about white genocide in South Africa

Following is a look at some of the claims made by U.S. President Donald Trump about the alleged persecution of South Africa's white minority. Trump made several false statements and misrepresented some facts during a contentious Oval Office meeting on Wednesday with President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Ramaphosa tried to rebuff the assertions but was frequently interrupted by Trump, who repeated the claims. Trump had staff play a video consisting mostly of years-old clips of inflammatory speeches by some South African politicians that have been circulating on social media.
