| Trump Slashes South Africa HIV Funding Over Afrikaner Dispute |
| 2026-06-22 |
| [Red State] South Africa spent more than a year betting that President Donald Trump was bluffing. He wasn't. The Trump administration is moving to phase out South Africa's remaining HIV/AIDS funding through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, better known as PEPFAR, after months of warnings over race-based policies, land expropriation, and the treatment of white Afrikaners. South Africa has long been one of PEPFAR's largest beneficiaries and has roughly 7.8 million people living with HIV, the highest number in the world. Trump laid the groundwork last year, signing an executive order accusing South Africa of discriminating against Afrikaners and directing agencies to halt aid where legally possible. According to a Daily Caller exclusive, U.S. officials wanted stronger condemnation of race-based incitement, including the "Kill the Boer" chant; prevention of land expropriation without fair compensation; designation of rural crime as a priority; more law-enforcement resources in high-crime farming areas; alternatives to race-based economic mandates affecting American companies; and no interference with the administration's Afrikaner refugee program. South Africa failed to meet those demands. |
