U.S. President Donald Trump announced he will cut all funding to South Africa, citing alleged human rights violations related to a new land expropriation law. This law, enacted by President Cyril Ramaphosa, allows government expropriation of land in specific circumstances to address apartheid-era injustices. Criticism arose from Trump’s unsupported claims of land confiscation, which echoed Elon Musk's previous statements alleging anti-white sentiments in South Africa. Ramaphosa refuted these claims, stating no land has been confiscated, and expressed a desire to engage with the Trump administration. The funding cut could impact approximately $400 million in U.S. aid.
