A short spoken statement by Donald Trump asserting that a ‘genocide’ is occurring in South Africa, claiming white farmers are being killed and their land confiscated, criticizing U.S. media for not covering it, and noting South African leadership will visit him and that U.S. citizenship has been extended to some people fleeing the violence.

Because they're being killed, and we don't want to see people be killed. Now South Africa leadership is coming to see me. I understand. Sometime next week. And, you know, we're supposed to have a. I guess a G20 meeting there or something, but we're having a G20 meeting. I don't know how we can go unless that situation's taken care of. But it's a genocide that's taking place that you people don't want to write about. But it's a terrible thing that's taking place. And farmers are being killed. They happen to be white, but whether they're white or black makes no difference to me. But white farmers are being brutally killed and their land is being confiscated in South Africa. And the newspapers and the media. Television. Media doesn't even talk about it. If it were the other way around, they'd talk about it. That would be the only story they talk about. And I don't care who they are. I don't care about their race, their color. I don't care about their height, their weight. I don't care about anything. I just know that what's happening is terrible. I have people that live in South Africa. They say it's a terrible situation taking place. So we've essentially extended citizenship to those people to escape from that violence and come here.
