South Africa Notes President Trump's Regrettable Truth Social Post

  • On Saturday the Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation said President Donald Trump's Truth Social post was regrettable and not supported by evidence, dismissing claims of Afrikaner persecution as ahistorical.
  • On Truth Social, President Donald Trump alleged Afrikaners were `being killed and slaughtered` and announced no U.S. officials would attend the G20 Summit in Johannesburg later this month.
  • A group of over 40 prominent Afrikaners said, `We reject the narrative that casts Afrikaners as victims of racial persecution in post-apartheid South Africa.` van der Rheede added, `It is now very important for all South Africans to unite and refute the statements by President Donald Trump&that Afrikaners are being killed and slaughtered and their land and farms are being illegally confiscated. This is simply not true.`
  • South Africa said Trump's decision not to send U.S. officials to this month’s G20 Leaders' Summit in Johannesburg is regrettable and highlighted four previous statements that set the record straight on farm crime, while emphasising its focus on unity and social cohesion.
  • Trump's wider pattern includes confronting Cyril Ramaphosa, cutting aid, expelling the South African ambassador, imposing 30 percent tariffs, and prioritising Afrikaners for fast-track refugee status, while European heads of state and President Xi Jinping are expected at the summit.
