The president ordered that all foreign assistance to South Africa be halted and said his administration would prioritize the resettling of white “Afrikaner refugees” into the United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to cut financial assistance to South Africa, the White House said on Friday, citing disapproval of the African nation's land policy and of its genocide case at the International Court of Justice against Washington's ally Israel.

Trump and his allies have targeted South Africa, promoting the false narrative that white people are being mistreated by the nation’s post-apartheid government.
