Trump threatens to cut U.S. funding to South Africa over land expropriation law
- South African President Cyril Ramaphosa denied claims that the government is "confiscating land" in response to US President Donald Trump's threat to cut off aid over alleged mistreatment of White farmers.
- Ramaphosa emphasized that South Africa is a constitutional democracy committed to "the rule of law, justice and equality" and noted that the US does not provide significant funding beyond an HIV/AIDS relief program.
- In January, Ramaphosa signed a bill allowing land expropriation without compensation under certain conditions, but constitutional protections remain, and legal challenges are expected.
- Ramaphosa stated that the law is "not a confiscation instrument" but rather a legal process to ensure equitable public access to land, as guided by the constitution.
