In February 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing officials to grant refugee status to Afrikaners.
The administration justified this policy by claiming Afrikaners are victims of "racial discrimination" and systemic violence. This position is supported by Elon Musk, an advisor to the president, who has claimed a "genocide" is taking place against white farmers in South Africa.
The U.S. policy shift followed South Africa's passage of the Expropriation Act 13 of 2024, which allows for the seizure of certain land without compensation to address historical disparities. The Trump administration characterised this as government-sponsored discrimination.
