Trump has repeatedly made false claims that white Afrikaners facing genocide with costs of resettling them at $100m
The US government has said it will increase the number of white South Africans it admits as refugees this year from about 7,500 to 17,500, claiming that “unforeseen developments in South Africa created an emergency refugee situation.”
Since starting his second term in office last year, Donald Trump has repeatedly made false claims that white Afrikaners are racially targeted and face a “white genocide”, which South Africa’s government has furiously rebutted.
His administration also cut aid to South Africa, boycotted the G20 summit in Johannesburg last year and disinvited South Africa from this year’s G20, which will be held at one of Trump’s resorts in Miami.
Well, at least the budgeting of this farce doesn’t seem to be eked out to enrich the Trump family any further.
That $100mil comes out at around $14000-$6000 depending if it covers only the first 7500 or the grand total of 17500 people. Which is roughly ballpark for such a relocation.
Mind you I’m not suggesting this is a good thing, not even for a moment, just saying that the budget seems to be more or less in line, so it doesn’t seem to be being pocketed.
