President Donald Trump threatened to reduce all future financing to South Africa to punish the government for allowing 'human rights violations'.
In the first month of his second presidential term of office, Trump was imposed at work at the rates for foreign nations, which yields retaliation measures in exchange for both Mexico and Canada.
On Sunday, Trump shared the truth of the truth on Sunday that he has now set his sights on South Africa – in a clear response to a law on expropriation of the country.
“South Africa takes land and treats certain classes very badly,” he wrote.
'It is a bad situation that the radical left media do not want so much as an mention.
'A huge violation of human rights can be seen at least for everyone. The United States will not be in front of it, we will act.
“I will also cut all future financing to South Africa until a complete investigation into this situation is completed!”
It is unclear what led to Trump's post, but his billionaire -Buddy Elon Musk, who recently became a narrow ally of the president, was born in South Africa.

Last month, Center-left South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said he was not worried about the country's relationship with Trump
In 2023, Musk answered X on a video of an extremely left-wing South African political party that sang an old anti-apartheid song, 'Kill the Boer', by saying: 'They openly insist on the genocide of white people in South Africa . '
Critics have branded the law as unfair, especially because it allows without compensation without compensation under certain circumstances.
In 2023, the United States assigned almost $ 440 million to help to South Africa, showed the most recent data on the government.
Last month, Center-left South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said that he was not worried about the country's relationship with Trump.
He said he had spoken with Trump after Trump's election victory and looked forward to working with his administration.
Ramaphosa recently signed a land reform measure 'in the public interest' that was designed to tackle racial inequality that go back to apartheid.
'This memorable performance reinforces the dedication of the ANC to tackling the continuing legacy of colonial expropriation and the spatial planning of apartheid, so that the country and the means of South Africa are used to improve the majority of its people , “he said at the time.
In some circumstances, the measure does not allow compensation without compensation.
During his first administration, Trump said that the US would investigate Land-Africa unproven large-scale murders on white farmers in South Africa and violent acquisitions of land.
South Africa currently has the G20 presidency, after which the US takes over.
President Trump has launched a global trade war since the return to the White House, but promised Americans short -term pain that they will feel 'worth the prize' is to create a 'Golden Age of America'.
On Saturday, Trump signed an executive order to impose stiff 25 percent rates on import from Mexico and Canada – despite the fact that the neighbors shares a free trade pact – and China became a rate of 10 percent in addition to already established taxes.

Since his inauguration, the president had sworn to take such an action and claimed that the countries did not do enough to stop illegal immigration and trade of the deadly opioid fentanyl to the US.
The trade fines that Trump signed on Saturday in his resort in Florida caused a mix of panic, anger and uncertainty, and threatened to tear a decades old partnership about trade in North America and at the same time stretching the relations with China.
But by following a campaign promise, Trump may have broken his promise to the voters in last year's elections that his administration could quickly reduce inflation.
“Will there be some pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!) 'Trump wrote on Sunday morning in all-caps on his Truth Social Media platform, and defended his executive order.
“But we will make America great again, and it will all be worth the price that must be paid.”
And on the Truth Social, he hit every criticism of rates, insisting that 'everyone at rates … is only against them because these people or entities are controlled by China or other foreign or domestic companies.
'Everyone who loves and believes in the United States of America is for rates. They should never have ended in favor of the income tax system, in 1913.
“The response to rates has been fantastic!”
In a separate post on social media, Trump again called for the northern neighbor of America to become an American state, which further raised tensions with one of the close allies of his country

Trump has placed a rate of 25 percent on Canadian goods, with a 10 percent load on oil, natural gas and electricity. Canada imposes 25 percent rates for more than $ 155 billion for American products, including alcohol and fruit.
Trump scolded against the trade surplus of Canada with the US: 'We need nothing they have. We have unlimited energy, have to make our own cars and have more wood than we can ever use. '
Despite Trump's claim that the US does not need Canada, a quarter of the oil that the America consumes a day is from his ally to the north.
He said that if Canada accepted his proposal to become the 'cherished 51st state of America', the nation would enjoy the benefit of 'no rates'.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said in the meantime that she had instructed her Minister of Economy to 'implement Plan B', including 'tariff and non-tariff measures'.
