A local representative of an area shown in a video played at the White House said she was "sad" that U.S. President Donald Trump used the footage of hundreds of white crosses as false evidence of mass killings of white South African farmers.

During a meeting on Wednesday, Trump had an aide present a video to the South African president that alleges "white genocide."

Trump strongly criticized Ramaphosa’s governing of South Africa, claiming there has been a “genocide” of white farmers.
