South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Thursday that his country "will not be bullied," days after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would cut off funding to South Africa over a land reform act.

Trump and his allies have targeted South Africa, promoting the false narrative that white people are being mistreated by the nation’s post-apartheid government.

State of the Nation Address, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa delivered a bold vision for tackling the nation’s long-standing social and infrastructure challenges, while signaling significant shifts in the government’s approach to poverty alleviation.
