President Donald Trump is taking swift action against South Africa’s government, cutting off U.S. financial assistance and creating a fast-track immigration process for white farmers facing land confiscation. The decision follows South Africa’s passage of a law that allows the government to seize land from farmers without compensation.
Trump announced the policy on Truth Social, calling South Africa a “bad place to be right now” and confirming that U.S. aid would be suspended. He described the situation as an attack on long-time farmers in the country and pledged to assist those seeking safety in the U.S.
Trump is now pausing all federal funding to South Africa b/c of how they’re attacking farmers and offering asylum to any farmer family wanting to escape to America

The executive order signed by Trump cites the Expropriation Act 13 of 2024 as part of a broader pattern of discrimination against Afrikaner landowners. The order also condemns South Africa’s increasingly hostile foreign policy positions, including its accusations against Israel and closer ties with Iran.
When Trump brings this up, it’s a “false claim,” but when an actual head of state in South Africa brings it up, the legacy media is silent.

The new U.S. policy will provide a direct path to citizenship for farmers and their families who are seeking refuge. The order states that the resettlement process will begin immediately, with priority given to those who can prove they are fleeing government-backed land confiscations.

South Africa’s land expropriation plans have drawn criticism from property rights advocates, with comparisons made to Zimbabwe’s disastrous land seizure program in the early 2000s. Trump had previously spoken out against these policies, and his latest actions mark a significant shift in U.S. policy toward South Africa.
Assemblyman Julius Malema in Cape Town, South Africa, says they’ll take land from the white people, without paying them, whether they like it or not.
He says white people can go to America.
