This meeting, scheduled for 11:30 a.m., will also include participation from Elon Musk, a South African native.<\/p>\n<p>Tensions escalated following an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-follows-radical-agenda-in-first-72-hours\/\" title=\"Biden Follows Radical Agenda In First 72 Hours\">executive order signed<\/a> by Trump on February 7, which <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >addressed alleged race-based discrimination<\/a> against Afrikaners, allowing for their resettlement in the United States. Trump has publicly claimed that a genocide is occurring against white farmers in South Africa, criticizing the media for underreporting the issue. The two leaders are expected to discuss South Africa&#8217;s Expropriation Act, which permits the government to seize land without compensation, a move criticized by the Trump management. The ongoing violence against white farmers,characterized by brutal attacks and murders,has garnered attention and controversy,raising notable concerns among the Afrikaner community.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">WATCH LIVE: Trump meets with South African president as tensions flare over &lsquo;genocide&rsquo;
