Trump Considers Resettling Tens Of Thousands Of White South Africans
The Trump administration is reportedly considering limiting refugee admissions to roughly 40,000 people for fiscal year 2026, and a significant portion of them could be white South Africans, Reuters reported Friday.
Two U.S. officials familiar with the discussions, along with an internal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) email, indicate that up to 30,000 of the spots could go to Afrikaners, according to Reuters. Since taking office, President Donald Trump has drawn attention to the violence and discrimination faced by the minority group of predominantly Dutch descent in South Africa.
“Outlets like Reuters have long covered the persecution of Afrikaners, who have endured unspeakable horrors, including rape, murder, and other violent crimes while their government has abandoned them,” White House press secretary Anna Kelly told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “President Trump has a humanitarian heart, which is why he has welcomed these courageous individuals to the United States. Refugee admission caps will be determined next month, and any numbers discussed at this point are pure speculation.”
In May, Trump signed an executive order promoting the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping race-based discrimination and violence in their country, whose harrowing testimonies have been documented by the Daily Caller.
