South Africa and Afrikaners push back on Trump’s white South African refugee claim

The South African government and Afrikaner advocacy groups rejected the Trump administration’s claim of a humanitarian emergency for white South Africans as a justification to raise the U.S. refugee cap, which would admit 10,000 additional white South Africans this year while excluding others; critics argue the move reflects selective humanitarianism, noting some refugees have already returned home amid debates over refugee protection and the situation in South Africa.
