Donald Trump imposes sanctions on South Africa over its land policy and its genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.

WASHINGTON, Feb 7 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump signed an executive order to cut U.S. financial assistance to South Africa, the White House said on Friday, citing disapproval of its land policy and of its genocide case at the International Court of Justice against Washington's ally Israel.
The United States allocated nearly $440 million in assistance to South Africa in 2023, the most recent U.S. government data shows.
The White House said Washington will also formulate a plan to resettle white South African farmers and their families as refugees.

It said U.S. officials will take steps to prioritize humanitarian relief, including admission and resettlement through the United States Refugee Admissions Program for Afrikaners in South Africa, who are mostly white descendants of early Dutch and French settlers.
Trump has said, without citing evidence, that "South Africa is confiscating land" and that "certain classes of people" were treated "very badly." South African-born billionaire Elon Musk, who is close to Trump, has said that white South Africans have been the victims of "racist ownership laws."

Washington has also complained about the case brought by South Africa at the International Court of Justice, where it accused Israel of genocide over Israel's military assault on Gaza that has killed tens of thousands and caused a humanitarian crisis.

The White House cited that case as an example of South Africa taking positions against Washington and its allies.

I'm vindicated. I said it the other day: Donald Trump's stance on South Africa isn't about land—it’s entirely about South Africa taking Israel to court for genocide.

Yet, some people dismissed me as a conspiracy theorist.

Na turn of south Africans to collect Trump smack down don reach so

Let's just hope the xenophobic scallywags won't channel their frustrations on their fellow blacks simply because Trump gave their ego the kinda masturbation that killed their erection

I knew it

So let me get this straight, South Africa takes Israel to court over genocide, and the U.S. hits them with sanctions?

Not Israel, the ones actually dropping bombs on civilians, but South Africa? Yeah, makes perfect sense…

When the U.S. flattens entire countries? “Defending democracy.”
When Israel turns Gaza into rubble? “Self-defense.”
But when South Africa uses legal channels? They receive Economic punishment..

The U.S. backed apartheid South Africa for decades, but now they wanna act like this is about "land policies"?
From a country literally built on stolen land? Please..
This ain’t about justice or democracy, it’s straight-up geopolitical bullying.

SadAfricans had it coming.

People that support Hamas terrorists.

Ok

The evidence of Israel stealing land is as clear as daylight.

American soldiers should be ready to die for Israel because Palestinians will never abandon their land.

Why should SA allow itself to be caught in a conflict that doesn't directly impact it?

International politics is all about interest. Other nations removed their head but SA foolishly went ahead and for what? To prove they could stand against anyone they want? That's just foolish pride.

Don't worry, Palestine🤷‍♂️, Iran, and Russia will help SA to navigate this muddy waters.

Zionism = terrorism
I wish for you to go through everything Palestinians are experiencing.

Village idiot.
To the dumbest retar@ed zero IQ monkeys in NL supporting Trump, now you can see what he's all about.
This is all about race. The idiot is trying to get those that are not White out of the US but he ready to move White SA to the US .

All the mumus supporting Trump because of religion go regret am sooner or later.

South Africa will soon know the difference between being a nation and superpower under Trump.

Make ramaphosa turns to his fellow briccs countries like China and Russia for HIV program assistance. Trump is bragging about US power!! I wish Nigeria is this powerful globally!

Putin should come to the aid of sad afrika, I thought they are among the BRICS.

BRICS should not forsake sad afrika because of Trump. If it was Nigeria they would bring out that their okpolo eye xenophobic attack. Let them bear the brunt of whatever Donald Chukwumereije Trump dishes out for them.

SA don buy market

@KingCold don die for Goma war

Everything about this Trump is just sanction, Tariff, Deport, and what have you, he's behaving as if he will become the president of US forever, someone should tell him that he only has 3years left, he shouldn't create many enemies for himself and family

Will all the white south African relocate to the US?

There's something seriously wrong with the international order.

I grew up hearing tales of Israel (God's people) and reading about their struggle to return to their homeland, inadvertently loving them and supporting Zionism

But what happened in Palestine is something that should make even the hardest of heart to show sympathy.

It was cruel. Simply put.

And because South Africa stood up for them when many did not means they get to be placed on the chopping block.

I don't know where your conscience is but I don't support this nor support the treatment the Palestines met at the hand of Israel.

If Christianity is about humanity and love then a true Christian shouldn't support this. Unless we practice a different Christianity religion.

He has also imposed sanctions on ICC officials that issued warrant of arrest on Nentayahu. His recent suspensions of financial aids to Africa is primarily targeted at South Africa. Trump is a psychopath.

Good. They were doing too much

Okay.

Coming from the country that prides itself in democracy...

freedom and justice!

Ignoramus. SA has an old sympathy for Palestine because of its own experience of the very same apartheid Palestinians are now suffering. Also calling them terrorist sympathyzers will be meaningless to them because Nelson Mandela was also branded a terrorist by the West/

Go figure.

America should stop using her ubiquitous power and position in world affairs to force white supremacists agenda on black people in general and black Africans in particular. The idea that Southern African countries, whose lands were stolen by white invaders, can never retrieve the lands even under black majority rule, is so racist and totally unacceptable! It is now obvious that the west is desperate in her agenda to caliberate a world economic structure in which blacks will always end up as mere labourers.

That nonsense should be confronted.

It is a huge shame that a country that prides herself as a beacon of democracy on the global stage is the one propagating this sort of crude racist bullshyt. It was Zimbabwe yesterday, and it is south Africa today. Unfortunately, the south Africans have been full of themselves lately. Otherwise, this should be the best period for all black Africans to band together and give the gringos the middle finger .

Yen yen. Just like it happened in Zimbabwe but a BRICS country is a bit immune to their shit.

Good for South Africa. They have been too arrogant for some time now
