00:00President Trump, Annika Larsson from ENCA in South Africa.
00:03Thank you very much for hosting us.
00:04Thank you very much.
00:05What would you like President Ramaphosa to do about the situation?
00:09I don't know.
00:10We've just seen on the screen.
00:11I don't know.
00:13Look, these are articles over the last few days.
00:17Death of people.
00:21Death.
00:23Death.
00:24Death.
00:26Horrible death.
00:28Death.
00:28I don't know.
00:30But you know that there are people who are dying the most.
00:32White South Africans are fleeing because of the violence and racist laws.
00:38And this is all.
00:40I mean, I'll give these to you.
00:41So when you say, what would I like to do?
00:44I don't know what to do.
00:45Look at this.
00:46White South African couples say that they were attacked violently.
00:50President Trump, when will you go and see for yourself if it is?
00:53Well, I can do that.
00:55Look, here's burial sites all over the place.
00:56These are all white farmers that are being buried.
00:59President Trump.
01:00And he asks about a jet that was given.
01:02You're going to be ashamed of this.
01:04You know, you are so bad.
01:06You're such a bad reporter.
01:07They're committing genocide.
01:08Why invite them?
01:09They are supposed to say, why invite us out that for him to go like I will.
01:12Can I have finished, please, President Trump?
01:14President Trump, I'll close it.
01:15This is one after another.
01:17This family was wiped out.
01:19I'm just looking.
01:21Can you give us a reaction to those videos, Mr. President?
01:25President Trump, would you?
01:26Well, I think the videos are so...
01:29No, no.
01:29When you look at the videos, I mean, how does it get worse?
01:33And these are people that are officials, and they're saying that, kill the white farmer
01:38and take their land.
01:40That's what it is.
01:40He had a lot of apologetics.
01:41And I have other friends in South Africa.
01:43I have people that left.
01:45One in particular that says it's, you can't go there.
01:48He said they want to take your land.
01:50They take your land, and they kill you.
01:53It's okay.
01:53And they say it's okay to do.
01:55Now, we're going to talk about it.
01:57It'd be great, too.
01:57But this is a tremendous...
01:59Look, this is a story recently.
02:00These are all people that recently got killed.
02:04And I don't know how it can get any worse.
02:06These are all people.
02:10And, you know, the man that you saw, the men that you saw, the people that you saw in that
02:14movie, those are officials.
02:15Those are people that were in office.
02:18They had one march.
02:20They had a dance in your parliament, whatever you may call it, legislature.
02:24Let me clarify that one.
02:26Let me clarify that, because what you saw, the speeches that were being made, one, that
02:33is not government policy.
02:35We have a multi-party democracy in South Africa that allows people to express themselves, political
02:42parties to adhere to various policies.
02:46And in many cases, or in some cases, those policies do not go along with government policy.
02:53Our government policy is completely, completely against what he was saying, even in the parliament.
03:04And they are a small minority party, which is allowed to exist in terms of our constitution.
03:11But you do allow them to take land.
03:13No, no, no, no, no, no.
03:14You do allow them to take land.
03:16Nobody can take land.
03:17And then when they take the land, they kill the white farmer.
03:20And when they kill the white farmer, nothing happens to them.
03:23Okay.
03:33Okay.
