U.S. President Donald Trump has said he will cut all funding to South Africa and has launched an investigation into the country's polices, claiming a “massive" human rights violation is happening over a new land expropriation law.
Trump made the pledge to stop all future funding on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, writing: “South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY."
In South Africa, Trump wrote, a ”massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see. The United States won’t stand for it, we will act. Also, I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!”
