The South African government and advocacy groups for the country's Afrikaner white minority rejected on Wednesday the Trump administration’s position that there's a humanitarian emergency affecting white people in South Africa.
The argument served as the administration's rationale for raising the US refugee cap, but only for white Afrikaners.
The Trump administration said on Tuesday that it will admit an additional 10,000 white South Africans into the US as refugees this year, increasing its annual quota, but blocking people from other countries from entering through the programme.
