South Africa's foreign Minister Ronald Lamola has told DW that it is obvious the United State is trying to bully the country, after US president Donald Trump issued an executive order cutting aid to the African state.
The Trump administration cut aid to South Africa amid controversy over a new policy that would allow the government to seize land for use in public projects. The administration also extended refugee status to the Afrikaner group - a white minority grouping. Lamola said he believed racism was behind the move.

南非外交部長羅納德·拉莫拉在接受DW采訪時表示,顯而易見,美國試圖欺壓南非,因為美國總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普發(fā)布行政命令,削減對南非的援助。在特朗普政府決定削減援助的背景下,爭議圍繞一項新政策展開,該政策允許政府征用土地用于公共項目。此外,特朗普政府還為非洲裔白人群體——阿非利卡人群體,提供了難民身份。拉莫拉表示,他認為種族主義是這一舉動背后的原因。
