USA: Trump's video trap in the Oval Office

The US President welcomes his South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa to the White House. And he lets him down – almost as brutally as he did with Volodymyr Zelensky.

Barely a week ago, Donald Trump delivered a speech about how US presidents should not interfere in the affairs of foreign countries. "Far too many American presidents have suffered from the need to peer into the souls of foreign leaders and use US policy to dispense justice," said the 78-year-old. He chose an economic forum in Saudi Arabia for his keynote speech, whose ruler had murdered the Saudi-American journalist Jamal Khashoggi six years earlier and allegedly dissolved him in acid.
