South African President Cyril Ramaphosa responded on Monday to US President Donald Trump’s threat to cut off aid over the alleged mistreatment of White farmers, denying Trump’s claim that authorities were “confiscating land.

US President Donald Trump has said he will cut all future funding to South Africa over allegations that it was confiscating land and "treating certain classes of people very badly". Last month, President Cyril Ramaphosa signed into law a bill that allows land seizures without compensation in certain circumstances.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Monday that he looked forward to engaging with U.S. President Donald Trump, after Trump said he would cut off funding for South Africa, citing land confiscations.
