Finally, Trump deals with the racist SA government. Trump has become the first US president since 1994 to make the ANC government pay for its frequent anti-US positions at the UN. Previous presidents have kept binational economic policy and multinational political policy separate from each other.


US plans to cut aid to South Africa

The US decision not to exempt SA from import duties comes after its recent announcement that it wanted to cut foreign aid to countries like South Africa who don't vote with it at the UN. According to a list compiled by the US, South Africa voted with the US on nine occasions and against it 68 times. Along with countries like North Korea and Cuba, it was singled out as one of the 10 countries with the "lowest voting coincidence with the US".

"When we arrived at the UN last year, we said we would be taking names, and this list of voting records speaks for itself. President Trump wants to ensure that our foreign assistance dollars – the most generous in the world – always serve American interests, and we look forward to helping him see that the American people are no longer taken for granted," said US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley.
