Congress is stepping up to ensure America doesn’t retreat from its global commitments in Europe and South Korea.
With the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) finalized by House and Senate negotiators, lawmakers are slamming the brakes on any Pentagon plans to slash U.S. troop numbers in these critical regions, locking in forces at roughly 76,000 in Europe and 28,500 on the Korean Peninsula unless strict conditions are met.
Reports had trickled out earlier this year about the Pentagon mulling over force reductions in both areas, even floating the idea of giving up the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) post at NATO—a position always held by an American general.
Adding fuel to allied concerns, the U.S. Army pulled a rotating brigade, mostly based in Romania, back home earlier this year, raising eyebrows about a possible broader drawdown on NATO’s eastern flank.
Thankfully, the NDAA, released on a recent Sunday evening, puts a hard stop to such moves, demanding that any reduction in Europe below 76,000 troops comes with a detailed assessment proving it won’t jeopardize U.S. or NATO security interests.
Over in South Korea, the bill mandates that troop levels stay above 28,500 unless the Pentagon can convince Congress that deterrence against North Korea won’t suffer, allies have been consulted, and a full national security justification is provided.
Beyond troop numbers, the legislation cements America’s grip on the SACEUR role, ensuring NATO’s top military post remains in U.S. hands, though some other senior NATO positions may be offered to European nations.
Interestingly, U.S. leaders have lately backed off from any talk of major cuts, with officials stating there are no near-term plans to downsize forces in Europe.
Still, during a meeting with European leaders last week, U.S. national security officials delivered a blunt message that Europe must gear up to shoulder more of NATO’s defense burden by 2027, according to sources familiar with the discussion.
Speaking on this shift, Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson noted, “We’ve been very clear in the need for Europeans to lead in the conventional defense of Europe.”
While the commitment to NATO coordination is admirable, let’s be real—America can’t be the world’s babysitter forever, and it’s high time our allies step up without progressive excuses about shared burdens masking their own inaction.
War Secretary Pete Hegseth doubled down at the Reagan National Defense Forum, stating, “Model allies that step up, like Israel, South Korea, Poland, increasingly Germany, the Baltics and others, will receive our special favor.”
Meanwhile, the NDAA—a must-pass annual package setting the Pentagon’s budget and policy—also allocates $400 million for Ukrainian security assistance next year, with another $400 million over two years via the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
One eyebrow-raising provision allows the Pentagon to reclaim undelivered equipment meant for Ukraine if it’s urgently needed for U.S. operations, a move prompted by earlier pauses in military aid shipments to Kyiv this year.
As the bill heads to a House vote this week, with hopes of landing on the president’s desk before Christmas, it’s clear Congress is sending a message: America’s global presence isn’t up for negotiation, but neither is our expectation that allies pull their weight in a world that’s anything but woke to real threats.
In a fiery address that could torch hopes for peace in Gaza, Hamas leader Khaled Mashal has outright rejected President Donald Trump’s carefully crafted 20-point peace plan.
Speaking via video at the “Pledge to Jerusalem” conference in Istanbul on Saturday, Mashal made it clear that Hamas has no intention of laying down arms or accepting international oversight, as broadcast on Al Jazeera.
Mashal’s speech celebrated the October 7, 2023, “Al-Aqsa Flood” attack on Israel as a pivotal moment, framing Gaza as the spearhead of a broader push to oust Israel from what he calls “our homeland.”
With a tone that practically dared the world to challenge him, Mashal dismissed core elements of Trump’s plan, including disarmament, the deployment of an International Stabilization Force (ISF), and Hamas stepping away from power in Gaza.
He doubled down on armed resistance, declaring, “The resistance and its weapons are our honor and glory,” as reported by Al Jazeera, showing zero interest in compromise. That’s a bold statement, but it’s hard to see how clinging to weaponry advances anything but more conflict.
Mashal also scoffed at any form of external control, rejecting what he called “guardianship” or “re-occupation” over Palestinian territories, including the Trump-backed ISF meant to secure and rebuild Gaza.
Adding a twist to the narrative, another Hamas figure, Bassem Naim, struck a slightly softer note on Sunday, telling the Associated Press in Doha that the group might consider “freezing or storing” weapons for a 5-to-10-year truce.
While Naim rejected international forces inside Palestinian areas, he floated the idea of U.N. monitoring at Gaza’s borders. It’s a sliver of daylight, but one wonders if this is genuine flexibility or just tactical posturing.
Meanwhile, Israel’s Foreign Ministry didn’t mince words, accusing Hamas of “making a mockery of President Trump’s peace plan,” as posted alongside video clips of Mashal’s speech.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while open to testing an international force, expressed skepticism about its ability to handle Gaza’s toughest challenges alone, emphasizing disarmament as non-negotiable in the plan’s second phase.
Netanyahu noted progress on the ceasefire’s first phase, with most hostage exchanges nearly complete, and signaled upcoming talks with Trump to hammer out details on ending Hamas’s rule.
Retired U.S. Army Major John Spencer chimed in on X, pointing out that Hamas lacks the leverage or global backing it once had, suggesting Israel could keep targeting the group while stability zones are established.
Trump’s plan, endorsed by the U.N. Security Council, envisions an ISF taking over from Israeli forces, a technocratic Palestinian body running Gaza, and Hamas stripped of all military capacity—a tall order given Mashal’s defiance.
Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar warned that Mashal’s rejection undermines the very conditions needed for ceasefire and hostage deals to progress, casting a shadow over diplomatic efforts.
As the dust settles on Mashal’s speech, the divide couldn’t be starker: Hamas clings to its arsenal while the U.S. and Israel push for a demilitarized Gaza. If peace is the goal, someone’s got to blink first—and it doesn’t look like Mashal is volunteering for the job.
Brace yourselves, Europe—Uncle Sam just dropped a deadline that’s tougher than a Brussels winter. The Trump administration has laid down the gauntlet, demanding that European NATO members step up to handle most of the alliance’s conventional defense duties by 2027. If they don’t, the U.S. is signaling it might dial back its role in the transatlantic partnership.
The crux of this story is a bold ultimatum from Washington, pushing European allies to shoulder more of NATO’s defense burden amid heightened tensions with Russia over Ukraine.
This isn’t a sudden whim; President Donald Trump has long hammered on the need for NATO allies to boost their military budgets. The latest National Defense Strategy (NDS) document doubles down, framing Europe’s self-reliance as critical to avoiding what it dramatically calls “civilizational erasure.”
Let’s unpack that phrase from the NDS: Europe needs to save itself from “civilizational erasure,” as penned by President Trump. Talk about a wake-up call— it’s less a suggestion and more a cultural red alert, urging Europe to stand tall against external threats. But is this rhetoric a motivator or just a flashy way to say “pay up”?
The message was delivered with crystal clarity during a recent Washington meeting, where Pentagon officials laid out expectations to European diplomats. The deadline of 2027 isn’t a gentle nudge; it’s a firm shove toward self-sufficiency.
If Europe stumbles, the U.S. has hinted at scaling back its involvement in NATO coordination and activities, according to sources speaking to Reuters under anonymity. That’s not a bluff to ignore when the stakes involve collective security. Could this be the push Europe needs, or a risky gamble with alliance unity?
While 22 NATO members were on track to hit the 2% GDP defense spending goal in 2024, the Trump administration isn’t satisfied—it’s now floating a 5% benchmark. That’s a steep climb, and reactions across the pond are predictably mixed. Some see it as a necessary jolt; others, a budgetary pipe dream.
France is stepping up, with President Emmanuel Macron pledging 100 Rafale fighter jets to Ukraine over the next decade. It’s a bold move, showing Paris isn’t just paying lip service to the cause.
Germany, too, is flexing some muscle, recently passing a law to survey 18-year-olds on their willingness to join the military. It’s a small but telling step toward rebuilding a robust defense posture. Will other nations follow suit, or drag their feet?
The NDS points to Russia’s war in Ukraine as the primary catalyst for this urgent shift, noting that Europe must take the lead in supporting Kyiv. European ties with Moscow are described as “deeply attenuated,” with many viewing Russia as a direct, existential danger.
Here’s a sobering take from the NDS itself: “As a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine, European relations with Russia are now deeply attenuated, and many Europeans regard Russia as an existential threat.” That’s not hyperbole; it’s a grim reality check on the geopolitical chessboard.
The same document stresses that managing these fractured relations will demand heavy U.S. diplomatic involvement to stabilize the region and prevent further conflict. It’s a reminder that while Europe is being asked to lead militarily, Washington isn’t fully stepping back from the diplomatic arena.
Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson echoed this stance, saying, “We’ve been very clear in the need for Europeans to lead in the conventional defense of Europe.” It’s a polite but firm reiteration that the U.S. expects results, not excuses, while still pledging to work through NATO frameworks. But can coordination hold if deadlines aren’t met?
Meanwhile, the European Union has its own ambitious timeline, aiming to enhance military capabilities by 2030. Leaders admit it’s a tall order, and with the U.S. clock ticking faster, the pressure is mounting.
At the end of the day, this ultimatum is a test of NATO’s resilience and Europe’s resolve. The Trump administration’s push might be the reality check needed to counterbalance progressive hesitancy on defense spending, but it risks straining alliances if not handled with care. Will Europe rise to the occasion, or will transatlantic ties fray under the weight of unmet expectations?

A new man-on-the-street video made in Minneapolis, Minnesota, shows interviews with several Somali Muslims who says they'd much rather live under Shariah law than U.S. law.
Filmmaker Ami Horowitz shared the footage on X with the description, "What Somalis living in America really think of the U.S."
Besides the affirmations of Shariah law, the video features a woman commending the practice of forced marriage, beginning when the "bride" is 15 years old, and defending those who kill others for "insulting Muhammad."
President Donald Trump on Tuesday condemned the large Somali community in Minnesota, telling reporters, "I don't want 'em in our country, I'll be honest with you."

Democrat U.S. Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is raising eyebrows for his remarks some believe support a military coup against President Donald Trump, saying "uniformed military may help save us from this president," even as the commander in chief is telegraphing forthcoming strikes on land against narco-terrorists.
Warner appeared on "Morning Joe" on MS Now Wednesday to discuss ongoing controversy over Trump's kinetic strikes against drug runners bringing their poison to America, in which one vessel sunk in September required a second strike to complete the mission.
The senator was critical of Trump's policy, saying: "This is an administration that's fired uniformed generals from the head of the NSA, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
"And I think in many ways, the uniformed military may help save us from this president and his lame people like [War Secretary Pete] Hegseth, because I think their commitment is to the Constitution and obviously not to Trump."
Warner was asked about expected congressional testimony this week from Adm. Mitch Bradley, who commanded the second strike against the vessel on Sept 7.
"I want to get answers on what did Pete Hegseth order, why haven't we seen the whole unedited video if there's nothing inappropriate here," Warner said.
"You could have cleared this up without the admiral coming in. He's got a great reputation. I respect him. I want to get the truth, and I'm not sure we've had the truth from Hegseth yet."
His remarks have many commenters online saying the senator is openly calling for a military coup to remove Trump from office.
"Democrats are praying that the military assists them in a violent coup," said David J. Freeman. "There isn't any saving that needs to be done, these seditionists are begging for a coup."
LibsofTikTok said: "He is openly calling for the military to overthrow the President. CHARGE HIM @TheJusticeDept."
"Family Matters" host CJ Pearson noted: "Mark Warner just said the quiet part out loud … They want a military coup against President Trump."
Others indicated:
"This is called an insurrection, kids."
"They talk about democracy then try to overthrow elected leaders."
"They know that when a civil war starts, the party in control of the military wins."
Meanwhile on Wednesday, Trump said the military strikes against drug runners would not just be limited to sea.
"Very soon we're gonna start doing it on land too," Trump told reporters, "'cause we know every route, we know every house, we know where they manufacture this crap. We know where they put it all together, and I think you're gonna see it very soon on land also."
During Tuesday's Cabinet meeting in the Oval Office, Hegseth schooled news reporters about the drugs carried by the speed boats being destroyed.
"All these white bales, they're not Christmas gifts from Santa," Hegseth explained.
When asked if he saw survivors after the first strike against the vessel, he responded, "I did not personally survivors … because the thing was on fire."
"This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air-conditioned offices, you're up on Capitol Hill, and you nit-pick and you plant fake stories in the Washington Post about 'Kill everybody.' Phrases on anonymous sources not based in anything, not based in any truth at all. And then you want to throw out really irresponsible terms about American heroes, about the judgment that they made."
"President Trump has empowered commanders – commanders to do what is necessary which is dark and difficult things in the dead of night on behalf of the American people. We support them and we will stop the poisoning of the American people."
Warner's comments come on the heels of six members of Congress who served in the U.S. military urging active-duty members to refuse so-called illegal orders, despite the fact they have not been able to specify any illegal orders given by Trump or his officials.

A menacing video threatening the lives of Northern Ireland elected lawmakers who are allegedly ignoring the flood of illegal aliens and the destruction of Christian culture is sparking an investigation by police.
A group calling itself the New Republican Movement posted the video showing three armed and masked men in front of an Irish flag complaining about "the level of disrespect shown to the people who put you into power."
"This cannot be ignored any longer," one man reads from a prepared statement. "We are proud men of Ireland. We are patriots. Your policies and decision-making in regards to flooding our community with undocumented, military-age men is not acceptable.
"We will not sit back any longer and watch our culture and religion destroyed by the people we put in power. Also, the sexual indoctrination of our children in schools has not went unnoticed either.
"The New Republican Movement will take immediate action against anyone who threatens our ways of life and the safety of our women and children. We have your addresses and know your movements. Every one of you are legitimate targets as of today."
The threats were made against officials in Newry, Mourne and Down, where the District Council voted in September to become a designated "Council of Sanctuary," similar to American "sanctuary cities" acting as a safe haven for refugees and asylum seekers.
Police Supt. Lynne Corbett said: "It is completely unacceptable that anyone should face such threats and intimidation for carrying out the duties of the office to which they have been democratically elected.
"We have commenced an investigation to identify those responsible.
"Police in Newry, Mourne and Down will continue engaging closely with our local elected representatives and will do all we can to ensure they feel supported and safe in our communities, and that they can undertake their role free from intimidation."
The member of Parliament for the area, Sinn Féin's Daire Hughes, said "faceless thugs" were engaged in "an attack on democracy," according to BBC News.
"Let me by crystal clear, these faceless thugs represent no one and they will not deter me or my party colleagues from carrying out our work, every day, representing our constituents," he said.
"Despite bombs planted at our offices and chilling threats made through social media, Sinn Féin will continue to stand up for our people.
"I send solidarity to each of my elected colleagues across our constituencies. Let us stand as one against these deluded individuals."
Diane Forsythe, a member of the Legislative Assembly with the Democratic Unionist Party blasted the "sinister" video as "vile and cowardly," BBC reported.
"It is an attack on all who serve their communities, regardless of background or party. It seeks to drag Northern Ireland back to a dark past that the vast majority have rejected. Our children should not be seeing this on their newsfeeds."
She added "unionist representatives in this area have faced years of sectarian abuse and intimidation.
"These masked men represent no one. They will not silence the democratic voice of the people of South Down. The DUP will continue to stand firm. We will serve without fear, and defend the right of everyone to participate in public life."

President Donald Trump is set to convene a meeting at the White House Monday at 5 p.m. ET to discuss the next steps regarding Venezuela.
Key members of Trump's cabinet and national security team are expected to attend, including War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Additionally, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller will be present.
President Donald Trump indicated Thursday night that the U.S. might "very soon" start targeting alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers on land. This would expand operations that have primarily concentrated on the Caribbean Sea. Trump and Hegseth have confronted the threat directly in recent months by conducting military airstrikes against them in the Caribbean.
Does the U.S. have a moral and strategic imperative to intervene military? Breck Henderson, a retired Navy Reserve Officer and retired nuclear engineer for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, recently wrote in his Substack that "military action against the Maduro regime is not just justifiable, but imperative."
What are others saying? WorldNetDaily spoke to national security expert and retired Army Lt. Col. Darin Gaub, who agreed: "I support military action to curb or eliminate the expansion of communism in the Western hemisphere." For Gaub, "all such action must be taken within the bounds of the U.S. Constitution."
While he shares Trump's and Hegseth's serious concerns about drug trafficking, viewing it as major threat to the people of the United States, he also expresses a less frequently discussed concern: Venezuela is "an ideological launchpad for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and other aligned nations and people who seek to attack the United States' soft underbelly," explained Gaub.
The national security expert said Venezuela has long been utilized to disseminate communist influence throughout the Western hemisphere, leveraging all of South America and Central America as a way to further undermine America's stability. "Beyond the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)," he said, "terrorist organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood and Hezbollah, who work in concert with the CCP and sympathetic organizations and people, also target the United States."
"This is why the election results in Argentina and now Chile are concerning to the CCP, Russia and Iran," he said. With potential leaders who are not sympathetic to their agenda, he added, "their foothold gets a little smaller."
Gaub also pointed out that the threats to the U.S. extend beyond communist influence and include more than just the drug cartels operating from Venezuela. "They are also the primary sources of violent criminals who were mass released from prison and escorted across our Southern border and vulnerable waterways," he explained.
To that end, drug-affiliated gangs like Venezuela's Tren de Aragua have been implicated in crimes in over a dozen states, including sex trafficking in Tennessee, ATM theft in New York, a contract killing in Florida, low-level arms dealing in Colorado and many more.
Gaub contends that various countries in South America and the Caribbean have similarly dispatched tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of criminals to the United States throughout the years.
"All of this explains why the United States is focusing so much on our own backyard and will demonstrate military and political resolve in the Eastern Pacific and the Caribbean," Gaub concluded. "It is folly to think we should focus on wars in Europe and elsewhere when our enemies are so close to our shores" – and while, he added, there are also "ideological supporters within our own government."
Hold onto your boarding passes—President Donald Trump just dropped a bombshell that could ground flights over Venezuela for good.
Trump’s latest move to clamp down on drug trafficking and security threats from Venezuela includes a stark warning to airlines and pilots to treat the country’s airspace as a no-fly zone, alongside military actions and stern words for traffickers, Breitbart reported.
Let’s rewind to October, when Trump hinted at a willingness to engage in talks with Venezuela’s dictator, Nicolás Maduro, noting that Maduro had laid everything on the table to cling to power.
Fast forward to early October, and U.S. forces, under Trump’s direct command, struck a drug-smuggling vessel in international waters near Venezuela, taking out four narco-terrorists and seizing a hefty narcotics haul.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth didn’t mince words, confirming the vessel was part of a well-known trafficking route and signaling that such strikes are far from over.
Clearly, the administration isn’t playing games when it comes to cutting off drug pipelines that poison American communities.
Then came Trump’s announcement on Saturday via Truth Social, urging airlines, pilots, and even traffickers to steer clear of Venezuelan skies entirely.
As he put it, “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY” (Truth Social post by President Donald Trump). Well, that’s one way to send a message—direct, unapologetic, and with no room for misinterpretation.
While U.S. flights to Venezuela have been grounded since 2019 due to the socialist regime’s grip on the nation, some planes still crossed over its airspace—until now, that is.
On Thanksgiving, Trump doubled down during a call with military personnel, praising their work in deterring drug smugglers by sea and hinting at upcoming land operations.
In his words, “The land is easier, but that’s going to start very soon. We warn them: Stop sending poison to our country” (Thanksgiving remarks by President Donald Trump). If that doesn’t put traffickers on notice, what will?
Trump’s focus on land routes shows a comprehensive strategy—sea, air, and now ground—to choke off the flow of narcotics into the United States.
By Sunday, the ripple effects were clear as international airlines started canceling flights to Venezuela after the FAA issued warnings about the risks of flying there.
This isn’t just a symbolic gesture; it’s a pragmatic response to a real threat, though one wonders how long travelers and businesses will feel the pinch of disrupted routes.
Between the airspace closure, military strikes, and designations like labeling the Cartel de los Soles a terrorist organization on Monday, the administration is hitting Venezuela’s drug networks from every angle—hard, fast, and without apology.

A recognized expert on China has written in a column at the Gatestone Institute explaining that Alibaba, the Chinese version of megacompany Amazon, should be unceremoniously booted from the New York Stock Exchange.
"In these circumstances, it is strategically wrong to support any element of a system that is assaulting the free world in general and the United States in particular," explained China expert Gordon Chang. "It is also morally wrong to do so. It is time to delist Alibaba and all other Chinese companies from American stock exchanges and to prohibit Americans from doing business with any of them. All of them are America's enemies."
Alibaba, in fact, had a market value of some $231 billion when its IPO in 2014 raised $25 billion.
It is in the top few dozen companies worldwide. It is into technology, e-commerce, retail, Internet and more.
It provides consumer-to-consumer, business-to-consumer, and business-to-business operations.
It owns and operates a long list of other corporations.
It is into capital investments and artificial intelligence.
However, Chang wrote in the Gatestone Institute column that, "Alibaba provides tech support for Chinese military 'operations' against targets in the U.S."
He said, at least, that's what a White House memo charged, according to the Financial Times.
"The Chinese giant reportedly provided 'access to customer data that includes IP addresses, WiFi information and payment records, as well as different AI-related services,'" he explained, "Whether the FT report is accurate or not—it sounds accurate—it is time to delist Alibaba from the New York Stock Exchange and remove all other Chinese companies from U.S. stock listings. All of them are integral parts of a hostile regime assaulting America."
While China's embassy in Washington denied the memo's information, Chang explained its denials "cannot possibly be true."
"There are no real privacy protections in China's total surveillance society " Chang explained. "The Communist Party of China runs a unitary state and demands absolute obedience from all individuals, businesses, and institutions in the country. Businesses operate as separate entities and report to separate controlling government bodies, but they are not separate. Washington must stop assuming that Chinese society is organized the same way as America's."
He charged that any and all Chinese entities, government or commercial, should "be treated as one single organization, the way the Party views them."
After all, the Chinese Communist Party "has access to everything any Chinese company, state-owned or privately owned, or Chiense institution possesses."
And that party "has declared the United States to be its enemy," he said.
He noted the opinion from Richard Fisher, of the International Assessment and Strategy Center, who said, "The Chinese Communist Party has exceeded the extreme lengths taken by the Soviet Communist Party to integrate and subordinate its 'civilian economy' to serve the larger goals of its 'military economy.' All Chinese companies, factories, universities, and local governments either directly or indirectly support the military."
"Did Alibaba in fact support the Chinese military as the White House memo charges? Only those with access to classified information know," Chang wrote. "Yet the truth of the White House's charge does not matter. What matters is that Alibaba is part of the Communist Party's system."

President Donald Trump, whose criticism of racism in South Africa is longstanding, has taken two new moves in his campaign against the anti-white practices in the nation once settled by Europeans, and then turned over to majority blacks.
He's rescinded all America program payments to South Africa, and he's disinvited the nation from the 2026 G20 summit, scheduled for Florida.
"They are KILLING white people, and randomly allowing their farms to be taken from them," the president commented. "South Africa will NOT be receiving an invitation to the 2026 G20, which will be hosted in the Great City of Miami, Florida next year.
"South Africa has demonstrated to the World they are not a country worthy of Membership anywhere, and we are going to stop all payments and subsidies to them, effective immediately," he added. "The United States did not attend the G20 in South Africa, because the South African Government refuses to acknowledge or address the horrific Human Right Abuses endured by Afrikaners, and other descendants of Dutch, French, and German settlers."
In fact, while whites ruled the nation for decades, following their ancestors' settlement of the region, for many years now the black majority has been in control.
The result has been documented incitement of extreme violence against white, up to and including murders of white farmers and the abrupt confiscation of all their properties.
A complaint to the South African Human Rights Commission to intervene detailed dozens of social media postings demanding violence against whites.
Those messages, sources reveal, "are replete with threats to kill all whites – including children; to rape white women or to expel all whites from South Africa."
Legacy media outlets that repeatedly have exhibited Trump Derangement Syndrome continue to insist that such reports are "debunked."
But one political leader on Facebook said, "We need to unite as black People, there are less than 5 million whites in South Africa vs 45 million of us. We can kill all this white within two weeks. We have the army and the police. If those who are killing farmers can do it what are you waiting for. Shoot the boer, kill the farmer."
Trump recently chose not to send an American delegation to a G20 event in South Africa, based on the persecution of white Afrikaners there, an agenda that South African officials now deny.
Trump also charged South Africa refused to hand over its G20 hosting responsibilities to a senior representative of the U.S. Embassy.
"Therefore, at my direction, South Africa will NOT be receiving an invitation to the 2026 G20, which will be hosted in the Great City of Miami, Florida next year," the president said on social media."
While South African representatives have a right to attend G20 events, there is no provision requiring the United States to grant them visa permission to visit.
Reuters reported South African President Cyril Ramaphosa called Trump's comments "regrettable."
The South Africa meeting of the G20 focused on climate change and economic "inequality."
