'Don't have a plane to gift': Did South African President Ramaphosa mock Trump?

During a tense Oval Office meeting on May 21, 2025, between US President Donald Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, a moment of levity arose amid serious discussions. After Trump controversially alleged that white South African farmers were being targeted by black South Africans, Ramaphosa attempted to lighten the mood by joking that he did not have a plane to offer as a gift. Trump responded by saying he would gladly accept one if offered, blurring the line between jest and sincerity.
