President Trump claims a "genocide" of white people, particularly Afrikaner farmers, is taking place in South Africa.
When he met the country's president, Cyril Ramaphosa, in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump played him a video — previously shared at least twice on social media by his advisor Elon Musk — that he said was evidence of this.
"Now this is very bad, those are burial sites right there. Burial sites. Over a thousand. Of white farmers," Trump said, "I've never seen anything like it."
The video showed a road lined on either side with scores of white crosses and a procession of cars carrying mourners paying their respects.
A startled Ramaphosa asked Trump where the location was, saying he'd never seen the video before. South Africa, replied Trump.
It was indeed a video taken in South Africa, in KwaZulu-Natal province.
But, it was not a burial site.
