An unconventional meeting in the Oval Office
In an unprecedented scene, US President Donald Trump reduced the limelight inside the Oval Office during his meeting with his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramafuza, and faced in front of the cameras with false accusations related to “genocide of eggs” in South Africa.
A controversial video view in front of the guest
Trump, known for his sharp media tactics, offered Ramafuza videos and printed articles that claim mass killings and seizure of white farmers, despite the lack of documented evidence of these allegations. Ramavoza, who seemed ready to respond, dealt with the situation calmly and balance, trying to deny the accusations without direct challenge to the American president.
Angry reactions and internal criticism
Patrick Gasbar, the former American ambassador to South Africa, described the meeting as a “shameful scene” and accused Trump of using a violent speech based on a “fake video”. He added: “Dealing according to Trump’s conditions does not lead to good results.
Possible repercussions on international relations
The White House did not comment on whether the meeting was prepared in this way, but analysts have warned that such meetings may push the leaders of other countries to hesitate to accept Trump’s calls for fear of public embarrassment, which may complicate American relations with friendly countries that China seduces with closer relations.
Political backgrounds and internal messages
The Ramafuza meeting was not the first, as Trump has already clasted with Ukrainian President Zellinski, in a meeting that turned into a screaming between the two parties. Many observers believe that Trump is using these meetings to send messages to his political base, especially the extreme right -wing currents, where he repeats ancient allegations of “genocide of eggs” in South Africa.
Escalatory moves
Since his return to the White House, Trump has canceled aid to South Africa, expelled its ambassador from Washington, and opened the doors of asylum in front of some white Africans, while closing it to refugees from other countries, which sparked widespread internal and external controversy.
The controversial land reform law
South Africa passed a new law that allows the confiscation of unused lands without compensation if the public interest requires this. But no actual confiscation has been implemented yet, and every decision can be stabbed.
Fears of the repetition of “Zeilinsky scene”
The last meeting brought back the violent argument between Trump and the Ukrainian president, which left tension within NATO. Analysts believe that the “Ramavusa scene” may have wide political repercussions, especially since South Africa is a strategic ally on a continent that Washington and Beijing compete.
