The FW de Klerk Foundation has written to US President Donald Trump, urging the US not to reduce or interfere with South Africa’s HIV funding. According to the report, the foundation sent the letter on Sunday, framing the message as a response to concerns about potential cuts to HIV-related financial support for South Africa. The foundation’s position is that the US should maintain its involvement in funding programs connected to HIV prevention, treatment, and related health services. The coverage indicates the foundation is using direct outreach to the US president to influence policy decisions and protect existing support. The report does not provide detailed figures on the size or timing of the alleged cuts, nor does it outline specific programme impacts beyond the broad concern about funding. The development adds to ongoing debate about the direction of US global health assistance and its effect on partner countries such as South Africa, particularly in areas dealing with HIV.
