US President Donald Trump has said he will cut all funding to South Africa and has launched an investigation into the country’s polices, claiming a “massive” human rights violation is happening over a new land expropriation law.

Mr Trump made the pledge to stop all future funding on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, writing: “South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY.”
