Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : During the meeting between leaders, Trump even played a short video, telling someone to "turn off the lights," so he could get a better picture.
52% : " Maybe Trump was hoping to relive his heated interaction with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine earlier this year.
44% : The Oval Office meeting comes just over one week after Trump welcomed 59 white South Africans, better known as Afrikaners, into the U.S. with refugee status, we previously reported.
30% : The family of White farmers," Trump said of the alleged victims shown in the video.
29% : That's when Trump responded saying, "I don't know."
27% : " The South African government first criticized Trump in February after the president's executive order allowing Afrikaner resettlement in the U.S. "It is ironic that the executive order makes provision for refugee status in the US for a group in South Africa that remains amongst the most economically privileged, while vulnerable people in the US from other parts of the world are being deported and denied asylum despite real hardship," the South African government's statement said according to PBS.
24% : When Ramaphosa sat down for a media blitz orchestrated by the administration, he was met with Trump, who came with dozens of documents and even a video to prove his false theory.
22% : "This is sort of the opposite of apartheid," Trump said of the alleged white genocide.
16% : The bulk of disagreements between the two leaders came down to Trump claiming Ramaphosa isn't doing enough to resolve the alleged "white genocide" happening in the African nation.
