Trump and his allies have targeted South Africa, promoting the false narrative that white people are being mistreated by the nation’s post-apartheid government.

President Trump said he will cut funding to South Africa in a move that reflects Elon Musk's false claims over the years over his country of birth.

Although the Expropriation Act, which was signed by South African president Cyril Ramaphosa in January, includes safeguards against abuse, Trump proclaimed that “South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY," and vowed to order an investigation by the U.S. government.
