Trump offers resettlement to white South Africans

The US president has accused Pretoria of “fuelling” violence against “racially disfavoured landowners”.

US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order directing government agencies to prioritise refugee assistance to white South Africans, including through resettlement programmes. The move was taken after the African nation had passed a land expropriation law to address racial disparities in land ownership.

In his order published on Friday, Trump accused Pretoria of “shocking disregard of its citizens’ rights” and claimed that the newly adopted legislation supposedly allows the government to confiscate ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation.

Afrikaners are descendants of European colonists, mostly from the Netherlands, who had arrived on the territory of modern South Africa back in 17th century. Following the decades of an apartheid regime, which Africa’s most advanced economy dismantled only in 1990s, white farmers still own the majority of land in the country. Pretoria has set a target of transferring 30% of farmland to black farmers by 2030 to address this inequality.

According to Trump’s order, the South African government’s policies were supposedly aimed at depriving the white minority of equal employment, education, and business opportunities while fueling violence against “racially disfavoured landowners.”

The presidential decree orders a halt to any aid or assistance to South Africa as long as its “unjust and immoral practices” persist and demands the relevant departments and officials, including the secretary of state and the secretary of homeland security “prioritize humanitarian relief, including admission and resettlement through the United States Refugee Admissions Program, for Afrikaners in South Africa.”

The document also criticises Pretoria over supposedly “undermining United States foreign policy” thus posing a national security threat to Washington, its interests, and its allies. The list of “aggressive positions” taken by South Africa includes accusing Israel of genocide in the International Court of Justice and developing ties with Iran, including “commercial, military, and nuclear arrangements.”

The measures introduced by the executive order are to stay in place as long as South Africa continues “practices that harm” the US, the document said. Washington and Pretoria have already recently clashed over the land ownership law.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has earlier announced his decision to skip a G20 meeting in South Africa later this month, accusing Pretoria of “doing very bad things.” A South African-born billionaire, Elon Musk, who has become Trump’s close advisor, has also branded the legislation “racist.”

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa hit back by saying that his nation would “not be bullied.” He also stated that the world had been witnessing the rise of “nationalism and protectionism, the pursuit of narrow interests” but did not mention the US by its name.

    • They would thrive and turn it into the breadbasket of the Middle East within 20 years.

      Until of course the usual racial jealousy kicks in again and they’re accused of being “inherently evil” for feeding everyone, followed by more murders and ethnic cleansing that no one’s ever allowed to talk about.

      South Africa in the 80’s was an economic powerhouse with its own stock exchange, its own petroleum industry, a strong military and even their own Nuclear weapons. 40 years of international globalist sanctions couldn’t hurt them. They didn’t NEED to end apartheid, they did it by CHOICE out of compassion for those who today murder them. They did it because they were relentlessly shamed and duped by the left wing international media who today refuse to acknowledge their plight.

      Nelson Mandela was a terrorist who bombed hospitals and schools, who killed children and had people “necklaced” with burning tyres. He DESERVED every day of his prison sentence. If the Saffers had given the rest of the globalist western world a big 🖕in the 90’s they wouldn’t be in their current predicament.

      Trump is right to offer them sanctuary, they are ACTUAL refugees unlike the millions of North Africans currently pouring into Europe with aspirations of nothing but rape and murder.

  1. I worked with people about 15 tears ago who left South Africa in the late 1990’s. We are taking here White and Indian South Africans. They all described the same thing: Too much crime, having to build a cage in your own bedroom to sleep in so if someone broke in in the night, they could not get to you. A friend of one of these people heard some noises in the night, left the cage and was killed by an intruder.

    South Africa will go the way of Zimbabwe: High inflation, massive crime, racism against White people who grow the food, and anybody who has the means to leave (i.e. the middle and upper class) will leave or have already left. Then South Africa will become like Somalia.

  2. Musn’t miss the context of the racially disfavoured land owners’ against the backdrop of USA/Israel contemplating the ownership of Greenland ,parts of Syria(so far)Panama ,Greenland and any part of Latin America Is this the same South Africa naive enough to stick their principles to an ICC call for genocide charges against Israel or the South Africa the founding member of the BRICS movement? you cant be small, sit on resources AND disagree with America

    • They were also human beings. Also men, women and small children who don’t want to be murdered.

      Also successfully farmed on barren soil in some of the toughest conditions in the world. And THRIVED.

      Also fought off the British empire, the strongest military in the world at that time, and kicked them out of their country TWICE. They did so by being one of the first armies to popularise the use of guerrilla tactics and small teams of commando units (a practice copied by modern SAS and US Navy Seals to this day).

      They also developed their own nuclear weapons, which they voluntarily decided to dismantle (the ONLY nuclear power in history to ever do so to this day).

      They also VOTED to end the apartheid system voluntarily and elect Nelson Mandela as president. How strangely un-nazi of them 🤔

      They also invented automatic pool cleaners, heart transplants, the modern CT scan, a successful “oil from coal” industry, the dolos, and Pratley’s Putty (which was used to hold electrical components together on the Apollo 11 lander).

      But yeah whatever. Slavery. You won’t cry. (You WILL apparently care enough to leave asinine comments on a website though).

      There is as much good in their history as there is bad, it’s just not allowed to be discussed honestly in the fake and censorious modern age we live in. Regardless of either side of their history, they DO NOT 30 years later deserve to have their government conspiring to seize their land and allegedly facilitate/assist in their genocide.

      The government is the A**hole in this story, not the people being crushed under its boot. Please read more.

  3. While the gesture is supportive of ending the White Genocide in South Africa, the White populations there who are living in extreme poverty are very aware of anti-White sentiments in the U.S. brought about by the Zionist J3w$!

    Russia would be the better place for the White South Africans, as many White Americans are moving to Russia.
