Leaders Argue About Farm Land in South Africa.
America and South Africa are having a big fight because of some mean things people say. Julius Malema, who leads a group in South Africa, made angry comments about white people. This made many people upset.
Elon Musk, a rich man who was born in South Africa but lives in America, thinks Malema is being very bad. He asks other countries to punish Malema. Musk goes on the internet and says South Africa might have big money problems if it keeps taking land away from white farmers.
President Donald Trump decided America should stop giving money to help South Africa. He said America would welcome white farmers from South Africa who want to move away because they feel scared.
The leader of South Africa, President Ramaphosa, says everyone misunderstands what is happening. He explained they want to share land fairly among all people. He said his country does not need much help from America anyway, except for some medicine to help sick people.
Malema's group fired back at Elon Musk with angry words. They said he should not tell South Africa what to do. They even threatened to stop his space internet company from working in their country unless he gave some of it to local people.
This big argument might cause problems between America and South Africa for a long time. Some people worry it will make both countries less like each other. It might also make life harder for people living in South Africa.
