President Donald Trump has alleged that white Afrikaner farmers in South Africa are victims of 'genocide,' prompting a new U.S. refugee policy aimed at welcoming these farmers.
However, many Afrikaner farmers themselves dismiss these claims, with some even laughing at the idea. The issue has become a key topic ahead of a meeting between Trump and South Africa's president at the White House. The farmers, attending an agricultural fair, deny facing systematic persecution or genocide.
The controversy highlights a disconnect between U.S. political rhetoric and the reality on the ground in South Africa.
