White Zimbabwe Farmers Turn to Trump in $3.5 Billion Dispute

White farmers in Zimbabwe, thousands of whom had their land seized in violent state-backed invasions beginning in 2000, are pinning their hopes on US President Donald Trump’s administration to help them win billions of dollars in compensation.

Mercury Public Affairs LLC, a US lobbying firm with ties to Trump, has agreed to make the farmers’ case to American politicians and won’t charge them, according to a previously unreported Foreign Agents Registration Act disclosure that was filed last month.
