# The Department of International Relations and Cooperation has criticised the US president Donald Trump administration’s decision to prioritise white Afrikaners for refugee status. The policy forms part of a drastic cut in the US refugee admissions cap to seven-thousand-500 for next year, with most places reserved for Afrikaners. DIRCO spokesperson Chrispin Phiri says the move is based on false claims of white genocide and disregards South Africa’s constitutional processes.
