The tone rises more and more between Donald Trump and the president of South Africa Ramaphosa because of the African whites dismissed from their land by the South African government

This racial decision on the part of Ramaphosa initiated Trump to take several measures of restrictions against Raphamosa and South Africa

Indeed, on February 7, Trump published a decree reducing funding from the United States to South Africa and citing “the actions of the government which fuel disproportionate violence against the owners who are racially disadvantaged”.

Mr. Trump’s decree specifically refers to Afrikaners, a white minority that descends from the Dutch and French settlers who arrived in South Africa in the 17th century.

There are around 2.7 million Afrikaners in South Africa, which has 62 million inhabitants. Donald Trump’s decision to grant refugee status to certain white South Africans goes against his general policy aimed at putting an end to the American refugee reinstallation program.
