Trump and his allies have targeted South Africa, promoting the false narrative that white people are being mistreated by the nation’s post-apartheid government.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa declared that his country "will not be bullied," responding to U.S. President Donald Trump's recent threat to cut off funding over South Africa's land reform legislation.

The U.S. president did not specify who was being "treated badly", but the land reference suggests he's referring to white landowners.

South Africa won’t be bullied, President Cyril Ramaphosa said after his government came under fire from his US counterpart Donald Trump’s administration.
