President Trump has just announced that he’s stopping all foreign aid to South Africa over the way they are treating farmers in the country.

He also invited these farmers to America, who are fleeing the country for safety, and said they will get a “rapid pathway to citizenship”.

Here’s what he said:

South Africa is being terrible, plus, to long time Farmers in the country. They are confiscating their LAND and FARMS, and MUCH WORSE THAN THAT. A bad place to be right now, and we are stopping all Federal Funding. To go a step further, any Farmer (with family!) from South Africa, seeking to flee that country for reasons of safety, will be invited into the United States of America with a rapid pathway to Citizenship. This process will begin immediately!

Remember, Secretary already boycotted a G20 conference because it was being held in South Africa.

Here’s a little background on this from DC Examiner two weeks ago:

The Trump administration continues to accuse South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s government of land grabs from private white farmers to balance racial discrepancies in real estate ownership. The 2024 South Africa Expropriation Act, signed into law in early 2025, allows for land seizure without payment for public use under specific circumstances, such as when the property is not the owner’s primary source of income.

Still, the country’s officials continue to insist there have been no acquisitions without compensation thus far. They point to the Land Audit Report of 2017 that recorded white South Africans owning 72% of the nation’s agricultural holdings as motivation for the current focus.

According to a State Department spokesperson, the Expropriation Act directly led Trump to suspend assistance to South Africa due to the country’s “unjust land expropriation law, as well as its growing relationship with countries like Russia and Iran.” The statement added that a serious review of U.S. South Africa policy is underway.

“The President has stated the United States will prioritize humanitarian relief, including consideration of eligibility for admission and resettlement through the United States Refugee Admissions Program, for disfavored ethnic minority Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination,” the spokesperson said.
