The Trump administration is contemplating a refugee program that allocates most admissions to white South Africans, specifically Afrikaners. Reports indicate a cap of 40,000 refugees for the next year, with an allocation of 30,000 spaces dedicated to Afrikaners. In the broader global context, nearly 43 million individuals are recognized as refugees due to violence and persecution. This includes millions from countries like Syria, Afghanistan, Sudan, Myanmar, and Haiti. Critics argue that Trump is exploiting the concept of 'white genocide' to justify the resettlement of Afrikaners.
The administration of US President Donald Trump is reportedly discussing a refugee program that would grant the majority of admissions to the white South African minority that ruled the country through apartheid for decades.
According to two officials, who spoke with Reuters anonymously, '30,000 of the 40,000 spaces would be devoted to Afrikaners, a largely Dutch-descended minority in South Africa that Trump has prioritized for resettlement.'
The UN Refugee Agency reported that there were nearly 43 million people worldwide recognized as refugees, who are forced to flee their home countries due to violence, persecution, or human rights violations.
Trump is using the baseless claim of 'white genocide' promoted by the likes of Elon Musk to grant asylum to Afrikaners.
