US President Donald Trump – who launched a trade war at the weekend with some of the US’s biggest trade partners – now has South Africa in his sights: On Sunday night, he threatened taking away funding (and likely trade benefits) from SA, due to the country’s updated land expropriation laws.

“South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people very badly,” he claimed in a post on his Truth Social platform.
“It is a bad situation… A massive human rights violation, at a minimum, is happening for all to see,” without citing proof.

“The United States won’t stand for it, we will act. Also, I will be cutting all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed,” Trump declared.

His comments follow SA President Cyril Ramaphosa signing off the new Expropriation Act into law in January, which put the land expropriation without compensation issue back into the spotlight.

The rand was hovering around there before even the deranged so-called president of America made those "threats."

Anyway, we know that that won't move the South African government an inch. Trump will implement his sanction and nothing will happen except hardship.

Meanwhile, America is burning and he is oblivious to that. All because of his stupidity and the ulterior motives of his handlers.

Musk has learnt from the best how to capture the state. He is doing his South African version on America.

I wonder what the rate is now.

Wasn’t the USA paying for their aids drugs?
