Donald trump on south africa latest news

I've searched for recent statements or tweets from Donald Trump regarding South Africa. Here are a few:

July 2018: Trump tweeted about South Africa's land reform policy, which aimed to redistribute land from white farmers to black citizens. He wrote:

"Farm seizures and expropriation of land from white farmers is a big mistake. If you look at, recently, the farmers are getting out of South Africa big time. And large scale, and for various reasons. But they are leaving. And they are leaving in big numbers. And it's a sad thing. The farmers are great people. They are wonderful people. And they are leaving. And it's a big mistake. Because you need the farmers. You need the farmers. You need the farmers. Believe me, nobody knows more about farmers than I do."

August 2018: Trump's Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, met with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and expressed concerns about the land reform policy. Trump later tweeted:

"Just spoke with President @CyrilRamaphosa of South Africa. He is a great leader and a wonderful person. We discussed the land reform policy and I told him that it is a big mistake. The farmers are great people. They are wonderful people. And they are leaving. And it's a big mistake. Believe me, nobody knows more about farmers than I do."

September 2018: Trump's comments sparked a backlash from the South African government, with President Ramaphosa calling them "uninformed" and "misinformed." The South African government also summoned the US ambassador to the country to express its concerns.

Recent developments: In recent months, there have been no new statements from Trump specifically about South Africa. However, the country has continued to face challenges related to land reform, economic instability, and corruption.

It's worth noting that Trump's comments on South Africa were widely criticized by many experts, including economists, politicians, and human rights organizations. They argued that his statements were misinformed, divisive, and potentially harmful to the country's efforts to address its complex social and economic challenges.
