  • United States President Donald Trump signed an executive order inviting Afrikaners as refugees to the United States. South Africans slammed the order.

The article from MSN discusses the implications of former U.S. President Donald Trump's executive orders which could potentially allow Afrikaners from South Africa to seek refuge in the United States. These orders were part of Trump's broader immigration policies, which included changes to refugee admissions and the criteria for granting asylum. Specifically, the article mentions that Trump's administration considered Afrikaners, a group of white South Africans of Dutch, German, and French descent, as potential refugees due to claims of "white genocide" or farm attacks in South Africa. This perspective was controversial and criticized for promoting a narrative that was not supported by comprehensive data or recognized by international human rights organizations. The executive orders aimed at revising the refugee vetting process and prioritizing certain persecuted groups, which some interpreted as an attempt to favor white South Africans over other refugee groups. However, these policies were met with significant opposition and legal challenges, and their implementation was limited during Trump's term.
