Pretoria, South Africa (CNN) South Africa's top diplomat has dismissed US President Donald Trump's remarks about white farmers in her country's land reform process, saying it reflects "right-wing ideology." Trump drew ire in the South African government last Wednesday when he alleged on Twitter that there was "large scale killing" of farmers , as the country tries to reverse the uneven distribution of land that favored white farmers over black South Africans during apartheid. Minister for International Relations and Cooperation Lindiwe Sisulu dismissed Trump's remarks as "unfortunate," saying that they were resonating with other people with the same ideology. "I think it is a right-wing ideology, and it is very unfortunate. We've used every opportunity, coming through our communications, to explain to the world what it is that we're doing.
