South Africa’s Minister of Mineral Resources, Gwede Mantashe, has responded strongly to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to cut aid to South Africa, suggesting that Africa should withhold its critical minerals from the U.S. in retaliation.
His remarks at the Mining Indaba in Cape Town come after Trump announced the suspension of U.S. financial assistance to South Africa, citing concerns over land expropriation policies.
