Claims of white genocide are false and inflammatory. While South Africa faces serious crime challenges affecting all racial groups, statistics show no evidence of targeted persecution of white farmers. The land reform policies aim to address historical inequalities from apartheid through legal, constitutional means. Trump is simply promoting a debunked conspiracy theory to justify policy decisions, including imposing sanctions on South Africa and promote a divisive and misleading narrative.
