President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa said that his country had not seized land. Ownership of land in the country has been a contentious issue for generations.

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.

Trump and his allies have targeted South Africa, promoting the false narrative that white people are being mistreated by the nation’s post-apartheid government.
