They see it as a punishment against society’s most vulnerable.\n\nThe Rev. Moss Ntlha, general secretary of the Evangelical Alliance of South Africa, told media that the United States has chosen “to punish the sick and the dying is a tragedy that is a slap on the Lord’s face. His warning that at the end of history as we know it, He will tell us that whatever we did to the least, we did it to Him.\n\nHe added: “U.S. MAGA policy makers will realize at that point that it was not the poor, the sick and the hungry it was punishing, but the Lord Himself. The path to greatness is found by serving the least of these, not the wealthy, as Trump and his billionaire mates appear to think. As for the U.S. policy making, it lends credence to a suspicion that it is a tool of control and manipulating poor countries to comply with US policy choices.”",
