President Donald Trump on Monday defended welcoming white South Africans as refugees, claiming baselessly that they were victims of “genocide.”
Trump was asked why the U.S. on Sunday paid for a charter plane to fly over dozens of families who say they have been targeted with violence, even as his administration has put a hold on many other refugee admissions.
“Because they’re being killed, and we don’t want to see people be killed,” Trump said. “Now, South Africa leadership is coming to see me—I understand sometime next week— and we’re supposed to have a G20 meeting there or something."
