Donald Trump is cutting off aid to South Africa over alleged land seizures. South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa has signed a law that allows some land to be confiscated without compensation. Other African countries will also be affected by Trump’s order to cut overseas aid to slash billions of dollars from the federal budget.

What does aid to S Africa do?
Instead of saying thank you for the help it gives us your damn money this is what has got to stop the US is not the worlds piggy bank to just come and rob whenever they feel like
You know.
There was no native tribes on this land and they've been killing white farmers cuz.They want their land no , this this criminality needs to stop Circumstances and if it serves the public's interest
Wow,
How's majority rule working out ?
Africa sold out to china..no aid for communist backed regimes..bidens allies is not America's allie.
What has s. Africa done for the US? Stop funding any country that doesn't do anything for the US!
Lolol…SA sux
South Africa has become a dictatorship run
by communist.
So glad that majority comments are for stop aid to another country. Cut all aid to the entire world. Do business not handouts
We are self sufficient we do not need foreign aid. Trump get out of our land we are sovereign. Get out now, I declare and decree it. We are One Nation, and One Country we don't want you here any more. Take your tariffs, troops, and so call sanctions out now in the name of our Sovereign God Yahuah!
Government corruption in the form of stealing.
Their property, things white men has done for years. Example Christopher Columbus how could he discover land indians lived on forever
Elon musk helped with this. That's treason come and get him and charge him!
We don’t need aid from Americans or anywhere else for that matter ,we’re becoming slaves to nations that bully us and disrespect us , in fact let’s stop using the usd as base trading currency, and you will see America change its tone .African can deal with our own issues
Will the newly elected Party in Germany also reduce any assistance for South Africa? Danke DW ❤️ 🇩🇪
The "Potential Consequences" Map
Description: This map shows the possible negative outcomes of the US halting aid to South Africa.
Strengths: It serves as a warning of what could happen if the US continues on this path.
Limitations: The US may continue on its path regardless of the warning.
Connection to Territory: It is stated that if the US government withholds aid, then the number of clinics in South Africa that offer HIV and tuberculosis care would be affected, and the jobs of people involved in those clinics could be affected.
Example: If you don't water the plants, they will die.
Take your land back , well done . Free Africa
When the government gives all those thousands of hectars of seized land to the people…..then things will change.
CUT ALL THE FUNDS TO SOUTH AFRICA , IF THE ANC IS NOT DEPENDANT ON AID THEY WHY ARE THEY CRYING AND COMPLAINING , THE ANC MUST GO WITH AA BEE AND LAND THEFT , THE ARROGANCE OF THE SA REPRESENTATIVES IS BEYOND ME, THE ANC JUST KEEPS TALKING KAKKKA PLAYING THE GUILT TRIP CARD , A JOKE , IS ALL THEY ARE
Government is just angry that they free pocket money has ended, thankfully the country's bully is no longer funded.
They cut off aid due to corruption and corrupt deal with Iran for money which was used to pay for a bankrupt ANC.
They are being exposed.
Legal theft.
Why is Trump allowing white South Africans to skip the lengthy immigration process while the rest of us fleeing persecution have to wait? I'm confused.
The question unanswered by the president spokesperson was,who misinformed trumph admin. .I personally think Elon musk has invested a lot in the trump admin that,his own fam must me one of the whites who own a lot of land in SA so it's not a misinformation,I think it's a matter of trump being told what to do as well. .what I hate the most is that,the same aid they threaten us with,is printed money backed by nothing. .the only solution here is the BRICKS
If RSA leadership continues to fail making RSA better and independent. .I think it makes sense that in future they will loose control of governance flexibility worse than they have
