Trump Misuses Congo Footage in South Africa ClaimA February 2025 Reuters video from Goma, Congo was falsely shown by Trump as proof of white South African farmer killings.
- Trump displayed an image during a meeting with President Ramaphosa that he claimed showed murdered white farmers in South Africa.
- The photo originated from a Reuters video filmed in February 2025 in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo, amid clashes with M23 rebels.
- The footage actually depicts humanitarian workers handling body bags of conflict victims in Congo, not South Africa.
- This misleading use of imagery was employed in the White House to support unfounded allegations of violence against white South Africans.
