Trump offers South Africa's farmers refuge: a new dispute sparked!
Südafrika - President Donald Trump has shown a drastic reaction to the controversial land-appropriation law in South Africa. According to krone.at , farmers who are expropriated in South Africa are welcomed as refugees in the United States as refugees. Trump promised a quick path to naturalization for her and titled the situation in South Africa as catastrophic, especially for long -resistant farmers.
The South African law allows the government to expropriate land in the public interest in order to eliminate injustices from apartheid era. Trump vehemently expressed himself against this project, which in his opinion discriminates against white farmers and said that the United States frozen its help for South Africa at the beginning of February because of these "unjust and immoral practices". He found that it was unfair if white farmers and their families are treated as "victims of unfair racial discrimination". South Africa itself rejected the accusation of the US government of "disinformation and propaganda", as Tageschau.de
sanctions and international tensions
In addition to the aid freezing, Trump announced that the economic and development policy support for South Africa would be fully stopped. Under President Cyril Ramaphosa, the country has passed a law that provides that in the event of expropriation, no compensation is necessary, which the US authorities interpret as a clear attack on white landowners. Ramaphosa emphasized that the government was not allowed to expropriate arbitrarily and explained that it was not intimidated by the US threats.The tensions between the USA and South Africa also worsen by the geopolitical views of Pretoria’s, especially with regard to the relationship with Israel. Trump's Foreign Minister Marco Rubio has already announced that he would not take part in the G20 Foreign Ministers' meeting in Johannesburg because South Africa is pursuing an “anti-American agenda”. These developments throw a critical light on relationships between the two countries and could result in far -reaching consequences for future cooperation.
