The United States will immediately start offering a fast path to citizenship for farmers from South Africa, said President Trump in Post on social media On Friday, he falsely claimed that the Government of South Africa seized their country “and worse than that.”
The post office has largely echoed what Mr. Trump has previously said about South Africa, including Executive command Last month, in which he suspended all US help to the country and offered the status of refugees to Africa, a white ethnic minority.
In January, President Cyril Ramaphos of South Africa signed a law measure that would allow the Government to take the land in public interest without giving compensation; Shortly after, Mr. Trump began criticizing the South African government. Elon Musk, who is from South Africa, supported the president’s statements with his own posts on social media accusing the government of the country of open racist law.
“A bad place for currently,” Mr. Trump wrote on South Africa on Friday.
His post comes as the South African government Preparing a trade agreement To offer Mr. Trump, hoping that he would settle tension, separate further criminal actions and convince him to maintain a close relationship with South Africa. Mr. Ramaphosa said that earlier Mr. Trump spreading misinformation and that he was looking forward to a meeting with the US president to clean the air.
“We will not participate in a counterproductive megaphone diplomacy,” said Vincent Magweny, a spokesman for Mr. Ramaphos, in response to Post on Friday. “We are still dedicated to the construction of bilaterally useful bilateral trade, political and diplomatic relations with the United States. Obviously, it must be a relationship based on mutual respect and respect for our independence and sovereignty. “
Mr. Trump’s post on Friday stepped down from his executive order in one key way. The command was especially offered to the African refuge, the descendants of the European colonizers who led the Apartheid regime. But his post said farmers could escape to the United States. Although most of the main commercial farmers in southern Africa are white, most farmers are in total black, and many of them produce food for eating themselves and their families.
It is unclear whether Mr. Trump will expand the status of refugees and fast citizenship on the farmers of the blacks. Ever since he returned to his duty in January, Mr. Trump had a priority broke the influx of refugees to the United States.
Some conservative Africans have tried to use Mr. Trump’s support. The delegation met them last week with the White House officials in Washington, seeking US funds to help build their own communities. They also sought to put the United States pressure on the South African government to abolish the laws that were to be resolved by inequality created in Aparthey, which they believe to discriminate against white people.
Many African activists said they would rather live in improved South Africa than they flee to the United States.
