President Donald Trump has signed an executive order freezing all foreign aid to South Africa, citing concerns over the country's alleged seizure of ethnic minority Afrikaners' agricultural property without compensation, in a move also aimed at promoting resettlement of refugees facing race discrimination. The decision follows a series of protests and criticism from farmers who claim their land is being taken away by black nationalists. Trump's administration has expressed support for South African farmers who are seeking asylum in the United States. The aid freeze is part of a broader effort to address what Trump calls 'racism and oppression' in South Africa.
