Trump Orders Halt to Aid to South Africa, Claiming Mistreatment of White Landowners
Briefly

President Trump has announced a cessation of all foreign assistance to South Africa, asserting that his administration will focus on resettling white, Afrikaner refugees. He claims that actions taken by the South African government amount to racial discrimination against landowners. This announcement follows Trump's previous accusations of human rights violations by South Africa. The tone of his order suggests an endorsement of persistent conspiracy theories regarding the treatment of white South Africans in post-apartheid society, which have often been disputed and lack substantive evidence.
