    During his first term, Trump had pledged to investigate allegations of massive killings of white farmers and violent acquisition of South African lands

    US President Donald Trump accused people of “a certain class of people of a very bad way” on Sunday, saying he would stop all future funding to South Africa until an investigation into the allegations is complete.

    “South Africa has confiscated land and treated a certain class of people very badly. It's a bad situation that they don't want as much as the extreme left media mentions. At least, a massive human rights violation. It's happening for everyone to see. The US does not support it. We will act. Also, until a full investigation of this situation is complete, I will be in all future to South Africa. We're going to cut off funds,” Trump said on his true social platform.

    After Donald Trump's election victory, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said he was not worried about his relationship with the US president. He spoke to Trump last week after winning his election and said he was looking forward to working with his administration.

    During his first term, Trump had pledged to investigate allegations of massive killings of white farmers and violent takeover of land in Africa.

    In 2018, Trump said he asked then-secretary Mike Pompeo to “scrutinize” the matter. “South Africa is currently implementing expropriation without compensation. It's a very dangerous road!” Trump said.

    The allegations of targeted killing of white farmers are rooted in South Africa's continued efforts to redistribute the land. The controversy surrounding the move led to debate over the expropriation of land without compensation. The issue has attracted a lot of attention from the international media following allegations of targeted killings of white farmers.

    The cuts in aid to South Africa came just after Donald Trump announced tariffs on goods from Mexico, Canada and China and launched a trade war.
