BREAKING: Trump to stop all federal funding for South Africa, announces ‘pathway to citizenship’ for farmers fleeing nation for safety

"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," Trump wrote.

"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!"

An executive order signed by Trump stated that the African country recently enacted Expropriation Act 13 of 2024, which enables the government to "seize ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation."

"This Act follows countless government policies designed to dismantle equal opportunity in employment, education, and business, and hateful rhetoric and government actions fueling disproportionate violence against racially disfavored landowners."

"In addition, South Africa has taken aggressive positions towards the United States and its allies, including accusing Israel, not Hamas, of genocide in the International Court of Justice, and reinvigorating its relations with Iran to develop commercial, military, and nuclear arrangements."

The order continued, "The United States cannot support the government of South Africa’s commission of rights violations in its country or its ‘undermining United States foreign policy, which poses national security threats to our Nation, our allies, our African partners, and our interests."

The order states that "it is the policy of the United States that, as long as South Africa continues these unjust and immoral practices that harm our Nation," the US "shall not provide aid or assistance to South Africa" and "shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation."
