The U.S. State Department has announced it will stop funding HIV and AIDS programs in South Africa, where more than 8 million people live with HIV — the highest number of any country in the world. A State Department official justified the decision by citing “South Africa’s failure to make demonstrable progress on policy requests by the administration.” President Trump has falsely claimed there is a “white genocide” taking place in South Africa. Trump has also overhauled U.S. asylum policy by pausing all asylum requests except for white South Africans.
