US Slams Door on South Africa Aid Over Afrikaner Farmer Woes
Published Date: 2/12/2025
Presidential Document
Summary
The U.S. is stopping all aid to South Africa because their government is unfairly taking land from Afrikaner farmers without paying and treating them badly. The U.S. will also help Afrikaner refugees who are escaping this unfair treatment. These changes start right away and could affect money and support going to South Africa.
