Trump halts aid to South Africa over land expropriation plans

Donald Trump is threatening the authorities of South Africa after they passed a law concerning the possibility of expropriating land from white Afrikaners. "The United States will not tolerate this - we will act. For this reason, I am suspending all aid to South Africa until further notice," Trump warned.

The U.S. president offered residents threatened with land confiscation the opportunity to settle in the United States. The signed executive order mentions "suspending all aid to South Africa." The document also instructs U.S. departments of diplomacy and homeland security to "prioritize humanitarian assistance."

South African law is expected to allow for the confiscation of land from white farmers who "do not make good use of it". According to the regulations, the state can expropriate a landowner if they do not use it and refuse to sell it. The law aims to address the injustices of apartheid from the past, explained South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Trump once again expressed his dissatisfaction with the changes in South Africa. On Sunday, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time, on the Truth Social platform, he wrote: "South Africa is confiscating land and treating certain groups of people very badly. The radical left-wing media do not want to mention this situation. There is a massive human rights violation. The United States will not tolerate this - we will act. I am suspending all aid to South Africa until further notice" - Trump warned.

Two groups representing white residents of South Africa declared on Saturday that they will not take up the offer from U.S. President Donald Trump offering them relocation to the USA.

"We do not want to move elsewhere. We are the indigenous people of this country and we are not going anywhere," said Kallie Kriel, CEO of Afriforum, a group promoting the interests of Afrikaans-speaking people. He stated this at a press conference in Pretoria organized jointly with the trade union Solidarity Movement (SM).

The leader of the Solidarity Movement union, Flip Buys, confirmed that Afrikaners want to build a future in South Africa. "We love our country, and repatriating Afrikaners as refugees is not an option for us," he added.

Afrikaners are a group of white residents of South Africa, mainly descended from Dutch settlers who arrived in the southern part of the continent about 370 years ago. They speak Afrikaans, one of the 11 official languages of South Africa.
