Why Trump is making refugee policy for white South Africans

The article discusses how U.S. President Donald Trump's refugee policy has been criticized for disproportionately benefiting white South Africans facing alleged persecution. The U.S. government claims an 'unexpected refugee crisis' as justification for expanding its refugee program, but experts argue this expansion is specifically targeting white South Africans. Trump previously accused South Africa of committing genocide against white Africans, a claim South Africa and international bodies like the UN have rejected. Critics, including academic Oscar van Heerden, suggest these accusations aim to undermine South Africa's moral authority by equating it with Israel. South Africa has been a vocal critic of Israel's actions in Gaza, filing a genocide complaint at the International Court of Justice. Trump's administration has allowed 59 white South Africans to immigrate to the U.S., and now plans to increase refugee quotas exclusively for white Africans, costing around $100 million.
