South Africans credit President Cyril Ramaphosa for keeping his cool as President Trump made a choreographed presentation accusing the country of murdering white farmers.
The Oval Office meeting went off the rails when President Trump started playing videos and repeating discredited claims about a "white genocide" in South Africa.
The Episcopal Church says it will not assist with the resettlement of white South Africans and will end its government partnership to support refugees. The church's presiding bishop, Sean Rowe, explains why.
The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.
The refugees were admitted to the U.S. after an executive order from President Trump, and under an expedited and unconventional process for the U.S. refugee resettlement program.
The first group of white Afrikaner South Africans granted refugee status by Trump administration arrive in U.S. as most other refugee admissions still suspended.
