Nationwide — During a tense Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, U.S. President Donald Trump held up a printout of an article that included a screenshot he claimed showed mass burials of white South African farmers. Trump asserted, “These are all white farmers that are being buried,” using the image as part of a broader argument alleging racially motivated violence against white citizens in South Africa. However, the image Trump displayed was not taken in South Africa at all.

According to CNN, the photo originated from a Reuters video published on February 3, showing humanitarian workers lifting body bags in the city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The footage was captured following deadly clashes involving the M23 rebel group, which is backed by Rwanda. Reuters’ fact-checking team later confirmed the misidentification.
