The United States is stopping all federal funding to South Africa, US President Donald Trump said on Friday.

"To go a step further, any Farmer (with family!) from South Africa, seeking to flee that country for reasons of safety, will be invited into the United States of America with a rapid pathway to Citizenship," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

Trump said this process will begin immediately.
