The first white South Africans to be granted refugee status arrived in the US on May 13 and were greeted by Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau at Dulles airport in Virginia. Their arrival comes just one day after President Trump accused South Africa of engaging in “genocide” against its white minority. In February, Trump signed an executive order freezing aid to South Africa in response to a law passed last year allowing the majority black government to “seize ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation.”
