DA blames ANC for Trump’s decision to cut off funding

Democratic Alliance (DA) spokesperson Karabo Khakhau says the African National Congress (ANC) should take responsibility for the recent executive order issued by United States President Donald Trump.

This after Trump signed an executive order, cutting off financial aid to South Africa and allowing for opportunities of settlement for Afrikaners in the US following the enactment of the Expropriation Act.

The DA has since filed papers in the Western Cape High Court to challenge the Act and to have it nullified in its entirety.

Khakhau elaborates: “The responsibility is 100 percent the ANC’s failure to align foreign policy in accordance with the ultimate goal that we want as a country. Which is to grow our economy and create jobs for all South Africans, poor South Africans who depend on working trade partnerships to get those jobs.”

“Partnerships such as that of AGOA, and I think Helen Zille was prophetic to also know that this is a culmination of a series of conversations that have gone broken as far as the American administration and the South African government is concerned to find each other as far as foreign policy is concerned.”
