Trump threatens South Africa over land seizures from "certain classes"

ai generated text

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed a law allowing for the expropriation of land without compensation in certain circumstances, a move that has been criticized by former US President Donald Trump. Trump has threatened to cut all US aid to South Africa, claiming that a "massive human rights violation" is unfolding in the country. However, Ramaphosa has denied Trump's allegations, stating that no land has been confiscated and that the government looks forward to engaging with the Trump administration on land reform policy.

    1. South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people very badly. The United States won't stand for it, we will act. Also, I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!
    2. So that's under investigation right now. We'll make a determination, and until such time as we find out what South Africa is doing — they're taking away land and confiscating land, and actually they're doing things that are perhaps far worse than that.

    1. South Africa is a constitutional democracy that is deeply rooted in the rule of law, justice and equality. The South African government has not confiscated any land.
    2. We look forward to engaging with the Trump administration over our land reform policy and issues of bilateral interest.
