White Afrikaners Arrive in US Under Revamped Refugee Program

Dozens of White Afrikaners arrived in the US from South Africa on Monday, the first beneficiaries of a controversial resettlement program that was instigated by President Donald Trump, who is meeting with South African leaders next week.

The group, which includes families and their children, landed Monday afternoon at Washington Dulles International Airport and was greeted by US officials. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said the Afrikaners had suffered from “unjust racial discrimination.”
