USA not responding to SA's calls for discussion - Lamola

CAPE TOWN - International Relations and Cooperation Minister Ronald Lamola, says the United States has not responded to attempts to discuss President Donald Trump’s executive order cutting off aid. 

Trump cut aid to South Africa in February after accusing South Africa of confiscating land and treating some classes of people very badly.

He has since also given refugee status to Afrikaner farmers from South Africa.

Trump has also criticised South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice saying it has taken aggressive positions against the US and its ally Israel.

Lamosa said there is no chance South Africa will withdraw its case against Israel at the ICJ.
