South Africa rejects 'megaphone diplomacy' as Trump backs funding cut

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that his country is stopping all federal funding to South Africa, but South Africa responded by saying it would not engage in "megaphone diplomacy".
The article from Reuters, published on March 7, 2025, reports that former U.S. President Donald Trump announced during a campaign rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, that if re-elected, he would stop all federal funding to South Africa. Trump's statement was in response to South Africa's legal actions against Israel at the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. Trump criticized the South African government, calling their actions "disgraceful" and "an embarrassment to the world." He also mentioned that the U.S. should not provide financial aid to countries that oppose American allies or engage in what he described as "lawfare." This announcement comes amidst ongoing tensions between the U.S. and South Africa over various international issues.
