South African President Cyril Ramaphosa defended his land reform policy on Monday against an attack by U.S. President Donald Trump that laid bare deep divisions within South Africa over racial disparities in ownership, an issue festering since apartheid.
The U.S. president said on Sunday, without citing evidence, that “South Africa is confiscating land” and “certain classes of people” were being treated “very badly,” adding that he would cut off funding to the country in response.

Ramaphosa said the government had not confiscated any land and he looked forward to engaging with Trump to foster a better understanding over a policy he said ensures equitable public access to land.
