President Trump suggested that the United States could boycott the G-20 summit in South Africa in a law of “land confiscation” and “genocide” in the previously white nation.
“How could we expect us to go to South Africa for the very important G20 meeting when land confiscation and genocide is the main theme of conversation?” Trump wrote in Truth Social on Friday night.
“They are the land of white farmers and then kill them and their families,” said the president. “The media refuse to inform about this.”
Trump’s position alluded to the 2024 South Africa Expropriation Law, a law destined to undo the consequences of the 46 -year -old apartheid system that the non -white South Africans were subject until 1994.
The law allows the government to confiscate the land in specific cases, ostensibertad when it is not being used or is of public interest, and redistribute it.
Trump included a compilation of Julius Malema, a radical left -left South African politician, pronouncing disturbing speeches that required “killing” people at the bottom of a “revolution.”
In recent years, racial tensions between white farmers and non -white citizens in South Africa have been boiling.
Afriforum, a group that promotes the rights of the white minority population of South Africa, has long expressed that Conern Conern that the government has underlined the murders of white farmers, insisting that the rate is much higher than the general murder rate.
Crime figures in South Africa are not broken down by race. Of the 6,953 people killed in the country between October and December, the latest figures, only 12 were killed in agricultural attacks, according to the BBC. It is not clear how many of them were white.
Trump pointed out in his position that his administration has already “stopped all contributions to South Africa”, referring to his February executive order that directs US help to the country on the Earth’s redistribution law.
The president has also offered “any farmer” who flees from South Africa a “fast path” to US citizenship.
“Is this where we want to be for the G20?” Trump’s publication continued. “It doesn’t seem to me!”
The White House did not immediately respond to the request for comments from the post.
The G-20 summit, a meeting of the heads of state of the countries with the 20 largest economies, will take place in Johannesburg from November 22 to 23. The meeting will be the first G-20 summit held in the African continent.
