The Trump administration has decided to start phasing out HIV funding for South Africa. The decision is based on the country's failure to address President Donald Trump's concerns about treatment of its white citizens.
A State Department official stated that the move is in line with Trump's February 2025 executive order, which accused South Africa of discriminating against its white Afrikaner minority.
The funding cut may have significant implications for South Africa's HIV response, and the country is reportedly making plans to minimize the impact of the potential funding withdrawal.
