The State Department on Thursday ordered an immediate pause on nearly all U.S. funding for aid projects in South Africa. The pause comes after Trump issued an executive order in February in retaliation for South Africa’s land reform law, which he claimed was “racial discrimination” against white South Africans. The “pause” reportedly spares funding for PEPFAR, the U.S. global HIV/AIDS program. South African-born billionaire Elon Musk has said white South Africans have been victims of, quote, “racist ownership laws,” and accused the post-apartheid government of anti-white racism.
