A tense exchange erupted during a White House briefing as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Donald Trump's controversial video shown to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. NBC's Yamiche Alcindor challenged the clip’s accuracy, saying it falsely portrayed a genocide of white farmers. The video featured dozens of crosses, allegedly representing slain farmers—though Alcindor noted they honored a single couple. Leavitt pushed back, claiming white South Africans are being killed and persecuted due to race. The moment underscores rising tensions around Trump’s rhetoric on race and global narratives.

In a private May 19 call with EU leaders, Donald Trump revealed that Vladimir Putin doesn’t plan to end the Ukraine war—because he believes he's winning. This follows a confidential conversation between Trump and Putin just a day earlier. While Trump had once claimed Putin sought peace, this marked his first admission that Russia intends to prolong the conflict. Trump backed off earlier threats of sanctions, telling leaders, “This isn’t my war.” EU officials now worry U.S. support for Ukraine may fade, leaving Europe to lead the response alone.

On May 21, 2025, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa met with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, where the discussion took an unexpected turn. Trump confronted Ramaphosa with unverified footage alleging a "white genocide" in South Africa, a claim that has been widely debunked by South African officials and international observers.
