US President Donald Trump has claimed that South Africa's new land laws will lead to the takeover of white-owned farms. Land ownership is a contentious issue in South Africa, with most farmland still being owned by white people three decades after the end of apartheid.

Groups representing some of South Africa’s white minority reject President Trump offer of refugee status and resettlement in the United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump has followed through on his promise to punish South Africa by signing an executive order stopping all aid and assistance to the country over what he called a human rights violation against a white minority group.
