U.S. President Donald Trump said he will cut all funding to South Africa over what he called a human rights violation, a move that reflects Elon Musk's repeated and false claims over the years that authorities in his country of birth are anti-white and even encouraging the killing of white people.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Monday that he looked forward to engaging with U.S. President Donald Trump, after Trump said he would cut off funding for South Africa, citing land confiscations.

President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa said that his country had not seized land. Ownership of land in the country has been a contentious issue for generations.
