南非总统拉马福萨到访白宫：椭圆形办公室当面否认「白人种族灭绝」说法
2025年5月21日，南非总统 Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa 到访位于美国首都华盛顿的白宫，与美国总统特朗普在椭圆形办公室举行双边会晤。会晤向媒体直播，拉马福萨此行意在重置两国关系、推进贸易谈判，随行者包括南非多名部长、高尔夫名将 Ernie Els 与 Retief Goosen，以及商界人士 Johann Rupert。
会晤起初气氛平和，两人先谈高尔夫与南非的球场，拉马福萨说，南非方面已获准与美方在贸易层面展开讨论，此行就是要重置美国与南非的关系，并讨论扩大双向投资；他提到约有22家南非企业在美国投资、创造了就业。他还谈到二十国集团（G20）：南非将于2025年11月主办 G20 峰会，其后把轮值主席交棒给美国。
记者提问环节，特朗普提出南非白人农民遭受迫害的说法，称大批白人农民正逃离南非，美国已接收其中部分人。随后他让工作人员调暗椭圆形办公室的灯光，在电视上播放一段视频汇编，内容包括南非反对党人士 Julius Malema 的讲话与高唱争议歌曲的片段。特朗普还出示了若干报道材料，称土地被夺、白人农民被杀而无人被追究。
拉马福萨当场回应：视频中人物的言论是南非一个小党派的立场，南非政府的政策与之完全相反，该党派是依宪法获准存在的小众少数党；南非不存在未经程序夺走土地的做法。他说，南非确有犯罪问题，被杀害的人里既有黑人也有白人；如果真有针对阿非利卡农民的种族灭绝，他身边的三位白人先生、包括随行的农业部长 John Steenhuisen，就不会坐在这里。他表示，希望特朗普听一听南非各界人士自己的讲述。
会晤中还有一段插曲：拉马福萨打趣说，很抱歉自己没有一架飞机可以相送；特朗普答道，希望你有，如果你的国家向美国空军提供一架飞机，我会接受。
记者追问特朗普是否确信南非正在发生种族灭绝时，他回答说自己尚未拿定主意。当天中午迎宾时，特朗普还对记者表示，众议院审议中的「大而美」法案进展顺利、已非常接近，并说他前一日与教宗良十四世的兄长 Louis M. Prevost 的会面非常愉快。（来源：白宫）
South Africa's Ramaphosa at the White House: Denies 'White Genocide' Claim Face to Face in the Oval Office
On May 21, 2025, South African President Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa visited the White House in Washington, D.C., for a bilateral meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. The meeting was broadcast to the press. Ramaphosa said he had come to reset relations between the two countries and advance trade talks; his delegation included several South African ministers, champion golfers Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, and businessman Johann Rupert.
The meeting began cordially with talk of golf and South African courses. Ramaphosa said the two sides had been empowered to begin trade-level discussions, that his purpose was to reset the relationship between the United States and South Africa, and that the two countries would also discuss expanding investment in both directions, noting that about 22 South African companies have invested in the United States and created jobs. He also raised the Group of 20: South Africa would host the G20 summit in November 2025 and then hand the presidency over to the United States.
During questions from reporters, Trump raised claims that white South African farmers face persecution, saying many white farmers were fleeing South Africa and that the United States had taken in a number of them. He then had staff dim the Oval Office lights and played a video compilation on a television, including remarks by South African opposition figure Julius Malema and clips of a controversial song. Trump also presented news clippings, saying land was being taken and white farmers killed with no consequences.
Ramaphosa answered on the spot: the views in the video belonged to a small South African party, South African government policy was completely against what was being said, and the party was a small minority party allowed to exist under the constitution; land could not simply be taken. He said South Africa does have criminality, and that those killed include both Black and white South Africans; if there were an Afrikaner farmer genocide, he said, the three white gentlemen beside him, including Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen, would not be there. He said it would take Trump listening to South Africans' own stories and perspectives.
In a lighter moment, Ramaphosa joked that he was sorry he did not have a plane to give; Trump replied that he wished he did, and that if South Africa offered the U.S. Air Force a plane, he would take it.
Asked by a reporter whether he was convinced genocide was occurring in South Africa, Trump said he had not made up his mind. At the midday greeting, Trump also told reporters that his 'Big, Beautiful Bill' was doing very well and was very close, and that his meeting the day before with Louis M. Prevost, brother of Pope Leo XIV, had been great. (Source: The White House)
