Behind all the absurdities of US President Donald Trump, there is a grain of sense. Why should many countries and governments that have until now benefited from the taxes paid by US citizens and businesses, donated by the Democratic Biden administration, continue to do so without benefit to the donor country?
Particularly when, as in the case of the ANC and SA in the conduct of its in international affairs, they show a clearly biased hostility to that country. By cosying up to Russia with our silence on that country’s invasion of Ukraine, our support for Hamas in Gaza/Israel, and general goodwill towards Iran and China, the ANC has widely demonstrated its anti-US views.
Indeed, our government should learn from Trump and put SA first — not Cuba or the Democratic Republic of Congo as examples.
