African Crash

Trump calls South Africa out:

Via Newsweek (emphasis added): Trump's promise to cut all federal funding to South Africa follows an executive order he signed in February freezing assistance to the country in response to the Expropriation Act. He views the law as a rights violation against a white minority, the Afrikaaners. The law enables the South African government to expropriate land from private parties if it deems it in the public interest. It also allows for expropriation without compensation, but only if negotiations for a reasonable settlement have failed. The South African government has defended the legislation, stating that it primarily targets unused land and does not permit arbitrary seizures. "The law is designed to correct historical injustices and ensure that land reform is conducted in an orderly and legally sound manner," a spokesperson for the government said in January. [South African president Cyril] Ramaphosa slammed a visit to the White House in late February by a lobby group for the country's Afrikaaner community. A small delegation of leaders from AfriForum and its affiliates visited Washington to meet with White House officials after Trump's order. "That is not a nation-building process of running around the world to try and have your problems solved, you are just sowing divisions*," Ramaphosa, who has said he is open to working with Trump on a deal, told reporters. *The South African running an explicitly racist regime has the nerve to accuse Trump of “sowing divisions.” He must suffer from the delusion that we’re still in the George Floyd era, when all white leaders at the upper crust of the power structure reflexively recoil at the slightest accusation of racism. That era’s over.

The era of responsibility is here now...
