President Trump on Friday announced the stoppage of all federal funding and foreign aid to the country of South Africa. The State Dept order went out on Thursday, and on Friday Trump took to Truth Social to blast the country's "terrible" treatment of its farmers, which has included "confiscating their land and farms" and "much worse" (an apparent reference to the years-long trend of White farmers being killed).
While Trump has been hinting at such actions for a while now, he's declared a new asylum policy concerning South Africa and its embattled farmers: "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." He then clarified this initiative takes effect "immediately".
