Trump freezes help in South Africa in the middle of spit over the Land Expropriation Law | News of poverty and development

The President of the United States Donald Trump has froze assistance to South Africa in the escalation of shooting between its administration and the transmitters over the controversial Land expropriation law aimed at the fight against inequality that comes from Apartheid.

In the executive command signed on Friday, Trump said that the law shows a “shocking disrespect for” for citizens’ rights and that it will allow the Government to deprive the country from the ethnic minority of Africans without compensation.

The adoption of the Expropriation Law, signed by South African President Cyril Ramaphos last month, followed the “innumerable” policy intended for removal of equal opportunities, as well as the “hate of rhetoric” and government actions that launched violence against “racially dishonest” land owners, Trump said, Trump said in their order.

South Africa has also taken “aggressive attitudes” to the USA -his allies, including the accusation of Israel for genocide on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and strengthening relations with Iran, Trump said in order.

“The United States cannot support the Government of the Commission of Commission for South Africa Rights in its country or the subjugating foreign policy of the United States, which represents threats to national security to our nation, our allies, our African partners and our interests,” the US president said in the order.

Trump’s command also said that his administration promotes the relocation of African “to escape discrimination based on a race sponsored by the Government.”

Trump and Ramaphos participated in the escalated war of words because of Sunday law, when the US president accused his colleague of “seized country” and harassed “certain classes of people.”

On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he would skip the upcoming group of 20 (G20) in Johannesburg In response to legislation and other “very bad things” that happen in the country.

Ramaphos insisted that the law was not a “subtraction instrument”, but part of the “constitutional mandate legal procedure” and claimed that he would provide public access to the land in a “righteous way”.

In addressing the Parliament on Thursday, which seemed to target Trump, Ramaphos said his country would be united in the midst of the increase in “the search for narrow interests” and “the fall of the usual cause”.

“We will not turn away. We are a resistant people. We will not be mistreated,” he said.

According to the Law on Expropriation, the Government may take away the country without compensation where it is considered “righteous and righteous public interest”, as is the case in cases where it is not used and after the effort to reach an agreement with the owner failed.

Ramaphos and his African National Congress said that legislation is necessary to alleviate the great inequality owned by land arising from colonial settlement and subsequent institutions of racial segregation and the rules on the white minority.

The government has yet to stretch any country according to the law.

The Democratic Union (yes), the largest opposition party in South Africa and a member of the Government of National Unity under the guidance of ANC, strongly criticized the law, throwing it as a threat to property rights and much needed foreign investments.

Yes, which most of his support takes place with white, Indian and multhered South Africans, has also expressed concern about Trump’s threats and refused proposals for the law to be taken away from “arbitrarily”.

The ownership of the land is a fierce question in South Africa for the heritage of Apartheid, which lasted from 1948 to 1994.

Although black South Africans make up more than 80 percent of the population, they own only 4 percent of privately owned agricultural land, according to the Government’s audit implemented in 2017.

White South Africans, which make up about 7 percent of the population and are divided between African descendants of Dutch immigrants and descendants of British colonialists who speak English, hold about three quarters of the country.

Trump’s campaign against South Africa is coming because its administration spreads foreign help, including the removal of the US International Development Agency (USAID).

Washington awarded about $ 440 million in South Africa in South Africa in 2023, according to the latest Government data.
