Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order prioritizing U.S. resettlement of white South African Afrikaners, claiming they face “government-sponsored race-based discrimination.”
The order also halts U.S. aid to South Africa, much of which supports AIDS programs.
Trump accused the South African government of land seizures and discriminatory policies, though officials deny these claims.
The move marks a reversal of Trump’s prior refugee restrictions and is seen as aligning with right-wing narratives on South Africa.
Truly the most oppressed people in the world. One day, maybe we will see rich white men in charge of things.
