- Donald Trump signed an executive order to cut US financial assistance to South Africa.
- The White House said Washington will also formulate a plan to resettle Afrikaans farmers and their families as refugees.
- The United States allocated nearly $440 million in assistance to South Africa in 2023.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to cut US financial assistance to South Africa, the White House said on Friday, citing disapproval of its land policy and its genocide case at the International Court of Justice against Washington's ally Israel.

The United States allocated nearly $440 million in assistance to South Africa in 2023, the most recent US government data shows.

The White House said Washington will also formulate a plan to resettle Afrikaner South African farmers and their families as refugees.

It said US officials will take steps to prioritise humanitarian relief, including ission and resettlement through the United States Refugee issions Program for Afrikaners in South Africa, who are mostly white descendants of early Dutch and French settlers.

Trump has said, without citing evidence, that "South Africa is confiscating land" and that "certain classes of people" were treated "very badly." South African-born billionaire Elon Musk, who is close to Trump, has said that white South Africans have been the victims of "racist ownership laws."

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa - who signed into law a bill last month aimed at making it easier for the state to expropriate land in the public interest - has defended the policy. He has said the government had not confiscated any land and the policy was aimed at evening out racial disparities in land ownership in the Black-majority nation. Ramaphosa said South Africa "will not be bullied."

Washington has also complained about the case brought by South Africa at the International Court of Justice, where it accused Israel of genocide over Israel's military assault on Gaza that has killed tens of thousands and caused a humanitarian crisis.

Israel denies the allegations, saying it acted in self-defense following a deadly attack on 7 October 2023 by Palestinian Hamas militants.

The White House cited that case as an example of South Africa taking positions against Washington and its allies.

The executive order signed by Trump will address human rights issues in South Africa, the White House said. Trump had threatened to cut off funding for the nation soon after taking office.

The question of land ownership is highly politically charged in South Africa, due to the legacy of the colonial and apartheid eras when Black people were dispossessed of their lands and denied property rights.

White landowners still possess three-quarters of South Africa's freehold farmland. This contrasts with 4% owned by Black people, who make up 80% of the population compared with about 8% for whites, according to the latest 2017 land audit.

Trump does not like refugees of other races. He only likes White refugees. Lol.

This brings back memories of his first tenure where he floated the ideas of US to only welcome immigrants from Scandinavian Europe.

No Nigeria or other African countries will fight again for the xenophobic South Africans. Make trump deal and with dem well well. Lol

Today's Americans migrated from Europe, chased the natives (Red Indians) away from their native lands where bad weather and diseases killed many of them.

Now, they have taken over their land and want to move white South Africans to America. I can see Elon Musk behind this move. Black people need to start loving themselves the way white people do.

That's why whenever I see this SENSELESS Igbo-Yoruba e-fight, I consider those who get involved in it as the most foolish black people on the surface of the earth because everyone is against the black, including himself!

- Fair enough. No African country deserves perennial handout. If you can't survive as an independent country, you should pack up and stop pretending. And same funding cuts should be extended to the fantastically corrupt Nigeria.

- My namesake should also look into the humanitarian crisis in Nigeria, especially the systematic extermination of Ndi-Igbo by the fraudulent Nigeria state.

- The genocide committed on Biafrans by Nigerian military should be revisited. Isee!

Great opportunity for Black South Africans to get their country back! US can’t afford aid anymore. With 38 trillion in debt. All this is just being used to bully country’s. Call their bluff. They will eventually have cancelled this aid anyway.

This was a big mistake made by Nelson Mandela for allowing Whites to stay after apartheid ended. His wife warned him and objected to the proposal.

I like Trump for being straightforward. Maybe African Christians who genocide in Gaza in the name of religion will now wake up if Trump pushes further on Blacks
