YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Trump accused South Africa Monday of engaging in “genocide” against its white minority as the first planeload of Afrikaners granted refugee status touched down in the US.
“It is a genocide that is taking place that you people don’t want to write about,” Trump told reporters at the White House before signing an executive order meant to reduce drug prices.
“It’s a terrible thing that’s taking place and farmers are being killed,” he added. “They happen to be white, but whether they are white or black makes no difference to me.”
Trump signed an executive order Feb. 7 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,” in the words of the White House.
Exactly a month later, the president announced that “any farmer” fleeing South Africa can come to America and receive a “rapid pathway” to citizenship.
On Monday, 49 Afrikaners, descendants of primarily Dutch settlers who arrived at the southern tip of Africa in the mid-1600s, landed at Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia.
