Trump to stop providing aid to South Africa

US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he would stop providing aid to South Africa until the country investigates “certain classes of people” that he claimed were being treated “very badly” without citing evidence, reported Xinhua.

“South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

“The United States won’t stand for it, we will act. Also, I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!” he said.

It is unclear what led to Trump’s post.

The South African side has yet to respond to Trump’s remarks.

In a separate development, the president announced plans to hold “meetings and talks” with Russia and Ukraine, reported Sputnik/RIA Novosti. 

“We’ve had a very busy weekend. We’re dealing with Israel, we’re dealing with Ukraine and Russia.

“We have meetings and talks scheduled with various parties, including Ukraine and Russia,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews on his way to the White House.

According to Trump, “the discussions are actually going pretty well”.
