The U.S. administration has repeatedly slammed Pretoria for what it falsely claims is the systematic persecution of white Afrikaner farmers<\/u><\/a> \u2014 and the South African side has repeatedly tried to correct Washington.<\/p>\n

To no avail. The list of the Trump administration’s grievances with South Africa are any diplomat’s nightmare. Trump cut aid to the country in February, his top officials have snubbed G20 events South Africa is hosting this year and the U.S. expelled South Africa’s ambassador.
