EXCERPT:
US President Donald Trump has increased the US refugee admissions ceiling by 10 000 for this year to allow more white South Africans into the country under an expanded Afrikaner-focused resettlement programme.
US President Donald Trump increased the refugee admissions ceiling by 10 000 for this year to allow more white South Africans to come into the country, a signed presidential determination reviewed by Reuters showed.
The document, dated 21 May, said white South Africans of Afrikaner ethnicity face an emergency due to ‘incitement of racially motivated violence’ by the government and political parties in the majority-Black country.
The White House, the US State Department and South Africa’s government did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Trump, a Republican, froze refugee admissions from around the world when he took office in January 2025, but weeks later launched a programme exclusively aimed at bringing in white South Africans.
