Trump Administration Cuts HIV Funding To South Africa, Cites Failure To Protect White Citizens

The Trump administration argued that South Africa has failed to address what Washington described as violence, discrimination and displacement affecting white South Africans.

The President Donald Trump-led United States government has announced an end to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in South Africa.

The Trump administration argued that South Africa has failed to address what Washington described as violence, discrimination and displacement affecting white South Africans.

Reports showed that the U.S. State Department outlined a series of concerns it said South Africa had failed to address before the decision was reached, according to Daily Caller.

Among the issues raised by Washington were South Africa’s Black Economic Empowerment policies, which U.S. officials said lacked exemptions for American companies, as well as what they described as insufficient condemnation by senior government officials of racially charged rhetoric, including the controversial “Kill the Boer” chant.
