Trump cuts aid to South Africa over racial discrimination' against Afrikaners
Briefly

President Trump has enacted an executive order to terminate financial assistance to South Africa, accusing it of racial discrimination against white Afrikaners. This decision follows a controversial law permitting land expropriation without compensation, signed by President Cyril Ramaphosa. Despite the historical context of apartheid and ongoing economic disparities, claims of discrimination by white Afrikaners have drawn international attention. The executive order critiques the South African government's policies and its relations with the US, while offering asylum to Afrikaners seeking refuge.
The order criticised a law signed by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa allowing land expropriation with nil compensation, which Trump argues fosters racial discrimination.
Trump's executive order states that South Africa perpetuates policies dismantling equal opportunity across various sectors, accusing the government of fostering violence against landowners.
