President Donald Trump's executive order penalizing South Africa has caused controversy in the country. The order, which primarily targets land seizures, comes as South Africa has faced ongoing U.S. criticisms for its support of the Palestinians in the International Criminal Court and its relations with China, Russia, and Iran. The South African government responded, stating that the order lacks factual accuracy and fails to recognize the country's history of colonialism and apartheid. The African National Congress (ANC), South Africa's main party, has reacted to the offer that White Afrikaners can become U.S. citizens by suggesting they leave the country. The government claims that the Expropriation Act will only be used for public purposes and that there will be fair compensation.
