signed an executive order Friday formalizing his announcement earlier this week that he’ll freeze assistance to South Africa for a law aiming to address some of the wrongs of South Africa ’s racist apartheid era — a law the White House says amounts to discrimination against the country’s white minority.
The White House said in a statement, “As long as South Africa continues to support bad actors on the world stage and allows violent attacks on innocent disfavored minority farmers, the United States will stop aid and assistance.”Trump was responding to a new law in South Africa that gives the government powers in some instances to expropriate land from people.
It aims to address some of the wrongs of South Africa’s racist apartheid era, when Black people had land taken away from them and were forced to live in areas designated for non-whites., has highlighted that law in recent social media posts and cast it as a threat to South Africa’s white minority.
