Donald Trump used videos of a Marxist firebrand politician to highlight the alleged persecution of white farmers in South Africa as the country’s president sat beside him.
The US president dimmed the lights at an Oval Office meeting to play clips of Julius Malema, known for his anti-white rhetoric, who was this month blocked from visiting Britain.
Mr Malema’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party won just under 10 per cent of the vote at last year’s general election with a platform feeding on the disillusionment of many young black voters who have not seen their lives improve, despite the abolition of apartheid.
His party has vowed to nationalise mines and banks and expropriate and redistribute land.
He also leads supporters in a song with the refrain “kill the Boer”, which critics say is an incitement to violence against white farmers, but which he says is simply an old apartheid struggle song.
Opponents differ on whether Mr Malema is a dangerous dictator in waiting with fascist leanings, or little more than a brash showman with a genius for stirring up controversy.
President Cyril Ramaphosa, and members of his delegation, told Mr Trump during their meeting that his views did not represent government policy and that he led a fringe party.
Responding to the footage being shown at the meeting, Mr Malema posted on social media: “A group of older men meet in Washington to gossip about me.
“No significant amount of intelligence evidence has been produced about white genocide.
“We will not agree to compromise our political principles on land expropriation without compensation for political expediency.”

Because that has worked so well in every other country where it has been effected.
LOL. When they're chanting they want to kill you, take them at their word. That's far beyond agit-prop.
“kill the Boer”
Whatever happened to swing low, sweet chariot? Don’t know that one? How about The Camptown Lady?
Obviously.
Should have killed the boor sitting next to Trump.
Misleading headline from the source. It makes it sound like the rabble-rousing Marxist is a personal ally of Trump.
I would imagine that The Telegraph wrote the same nonsense about Adolf Hitler in 1936, another dangerous lunatic clearly bent on genocide: Opponents differ on whether Mr Malema is a dangerous dictator in waiting with fascist leanings, or little more than a brash showman with a genius for stirring up controversy.
The most prominent characteristic of Marxism is the low level of intellect that produced it.
Soak the rich message has worked very effectively in most countries. It never ends well, but low info envious people fall for it hook, line and sinker.
He was part of ANC, too, not just EFF.
ANC is always portrayed as if they are moderates.
Winnie Mandela openly called for political opponents to be pinned inside a rubber tire and burned alive but… yeah, the press says they are moderate.
Nigle wants to Nationalize Steele and medal! And they are the “ right wing” Party in the UK.
Nigle wants to Nationalize Steele and medal!
