The former President of the United States, Donald Trump, sparked controversy by stating on his social media platform Truth Social that South Africa is confiscating land and treating certain classes of people unfairly. Trump threatened to cut all future funding to South Africa until a complete investigation into this situation is conducted.
"The United States will not tolerate it, we will take action. I will also cut all future funding to South Africa until a complete investigation into this situation is carried out," Trump expressed in his statements. So far, there have been no official comments from South Africa regarding the claims made by the former U.S. president.
This move by Trump has raised uncertainty, as the exact cause of his statements has not been specified, nor has it been clarified what he means by "certain classes of people" who are being treated unfairly in South Africa. The current administration's stance in the United States, led by President Joe Biden, on this matter has yet to be expressed.
