The article discusses South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's controversial treatment of white farmers, leading to significant political backlash in the US. This includes an executive order from President Trump halting US assistance and banning support for South Africa's upcoming G20 summit. However, concerns extend beyond domestic issues; South Africa's growing alignment with nations like China, Russia, and Iran threatens US interests. Despite a facade of neutrality, Ramaphosa's administration engages with sanctioned entities, raising alarms about its diplomatic intentions and reliability as an ally.
