Ramaphosa Says "Won't Be Bullied" After Trump Attack, G20 Snub | Firstpost Africa The South African government led by President Cyril Ramaphosa, as it turns out, has landed on the wrong side of the US President Donald Trump.

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.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Thursday that his country "will not be bullied," days after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would cut off funding to South Africa over a land reform act.

Trump signed an executive order to cut U.S. aid to South Africa, which provided for U.S. resettlement of some "victims of racial discrimination."

A White Afrikaans rights group’s years of lobbying right-wing US politicians culminated in President Donald Trump on Friday falsely accusing South Africa of seeking to seize land from “ethnic minority Afrikaners” and withholding financial aid to the nation.

U.S. President Donald Trump's attacks on what he alleges is South Africa's mistreatment of its white minority are being met with mockery on social media by some white South Africans poking fun at their own privilege.
