Trump Freezes US Aid to South Africa Over Land Law, Calls It ‘Shocking Disregard’ for Rights

U.S. President Donald Trump has frozen aid to South Africa, citing concerns over a new land expropriation law that allows the government to seize property without compensation in certain cases. In an executive order, Trump condemned the law as a violation of property rights and accused Pretoria of “hateful rhetoric” against minority landowners. The move comes amid growing tensions, with South Africa pursuing legal action against Israel at the ICJ and strengthening ties with Iran. President Cyril Ramaphosa responded defiantly, saying South Africa “will not be bullied.” The diplomatic rift deepens as the country prepares to host the G20 summit later this month.
