South Africa’s Solidarity Movement, a lobby group that says it represents 2 million Afrikaans speakers, voiced its opposition to a decision by US President Donald Trump to withdraw aid to the nation and rejected an offer to settle in America.
Trump on Friday signed an executive order targeting South Africa over what his administration and allies falsely claim are human-rights violations stemming from a new land-expropriation law.
