  • President Donald Trump signed an executive order to cut U.S. financial assistance to South Africa, the White House said on Friday, citing disapproval of its land policy and of its genocide case at the International Court of Justice against Washington's ally Israel.

The article from Reuters, published on February 7, 2025, discusses an executive order signed by former U.S. President Donald Trump aimed at addressing issues in South Africa. According to a White House official, the order was intended to tackle the perceived problem of land expropriation without compensation in South Africa, which Trump believed was causing significant harm to the country's economy and stability. The executive order reportedly sought to impose sanctions or other measures against South African officials or entities involved in such land reforms. However, the specifics of the order, its legal implications, and the reactions from South African authorities or the international community were not detailed in the article. The move was seen as part of Trump's broader policy of intervening in what he considered to be threats to property rights and economic stability abroad.
