Analysis - American president Donald Trump has issued an executive order to withdraw aid from South Africa. He was reacting to what he has called the South African government's plan to "seize ethnic minority Afrikaners' agricultural property without compensation".

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.

Whites make up around 7% of South Africa’s population of 62 million but own approximately 70% of the private farming land. The government says that inequality needs to be addressed.
