US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will not attend a meeting coming in South Africa, days after President Donald Trump threatened to cut the financing of the African country.
South Africa will host a meeting of foreign ministers in the Group of Countries in the Group of Twenty from 20 to 21 February in Johannesburg. The country holds the presidency of the Group of Twenty until November.
Trump said on Sunday, without citing evidence, that “South Africa is the confiscation of the land” and “dealing with some groups of people” very badly. ”
South African billionaire, Elon Musk, who is close to Trump, has also accused South Africa in recent days of “publicly racist royal laws”, indicating that white people are the victims.
President Cyril Ramavusa defended the land policy in South Africa after Trump’s threat, saying that the government has not confiscated any land and that politics aims to ensure the fair public reaching the lands.
It is not elected, but US President Donald Trump enables him to cut off government waste, the world’s richest man faces increasing resistance to cut off his federal functions and departments, while one of the Democratic Senator called “the seizure of illegal power.”
The issue of land ownership is a very political charged in South Africa due to the legacy of colonial ages and apartheid when blacks were stripped of their lands and prohibited property rights.
White land owners still own three -quarters of free agricultural lands in South Africa, with four percent of black citizens. About 80 percent of the country’s population is black, compared to about eight percent of eggs, according to the last land auditing, from 2017.
Partially in an attempt to correct this imbalance, Ramavusa was a law last month, allowing the state to raise lands “in the public interest.”
“South Africa is doing very bad things,” Rubio said on his position on X.
“There is no arbitrary abstraction of private property (or). This law is similar to prominent field laws.”
The Trump administration tried to dismantle diversity, fairness and integration programs throughout the US government. Rights groups say that Dei programs help in dealing with the inequality facing marginalized groups. Trump calls De Dimir.
South Africa also requires foreign companies to provide 30 percent of shares for historically deprived groups if they want to work in the country. Musk’s Starlink Satellite has been deprived of South Africa’s business license so far Amid long negotiations.
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy criticizes musk:
This is not complicated to understand it.
Starlink was deprived of Elon Musk of a license in South Africa, so it was in a retaliatory campaign to carry them unlike their decision.
Our foreign policy is now just a billionaire business tactic. What a heartbreaking corruption. https://t.co/jzznoedu0n
Musk was appointed as a “private government employee” in the United States by the Trump administration, despite the conflict of clear interests given his status as an executive head of several federal organization companies, including Tesla, Spacex and X.
For example, the US Securities and Stock Exchange Committee (SEC) achieved whether Musk had broken securities laws in 2022 when he bought shares in Twitter, in addition to the data he made on social media regarding Neuralink, which he claimed was it. Disturbing.
However, Musk and a team working as the Ministry of Governmental efficiency – which, despite its name is not an official executive federal ministry – managed).

Freezing on the spending of US foreign aid since Trump took office on January 20, charitable groups and governments have caught around the world.
South African Minister of Health, Aaron Motwalide, told Parliament there on Wednesday that officials were quick to meet the American embassy employees to obtain information after not receiving any warning from the Trump administration, and would freeze the decisive financing of the largest national HIV/AIDS virus program in the world. South Africa has the largest number of people who live with HIV in the world, reaching about eight million, and the United States appeals about 17 percent of its program through the PEPFAR Emergency Emergency Plan, which was launched by the George W. Bush administration.
Jean Cassia, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Thursday that the organization will communicate with Rubio to increase concerns about the effect of freezing aid on patients with diseases such as HIV and the risk of MPOX in the Congo, he told Reuters.
“When I got information about a pause … I was anxious,” Cassia said. “How can we respond to all the ongoing outbreaks if we do not have funding?”
Rubio also said in office that he did not want to stand out “anti -America”, but he did not explain.
Under the leadership of Joe Biden, the United States criticized South Africa after it began a case in December 2023 with the International Court of Justice, which accused Israel’s close American ally in its operations in Gaza, which was launched two months ago after the militants led by Hamas from the region killed nearly 1,200 people in Southern Israel attacks.
The ruling African National Congress Party in South Africa has long compared Israeli policies in Gaza and the West Bank for its own history within the framework of the racist separation system for the rule of the white minority.

In 2022, the US Treasury Secretary came out at the time, Janet Yellen, and the Minister of Finance at Canada at the time, Christia Ferrend, and some of them are others from a Washington fashion group meeting to protest against Russia’s participation, which has just been invaded to Ukraine.
