Trump administration is reportedly weighing a refugee cap with a focus on white-Afrikaners

# US president Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly discussing a refugee admissions cap of about 40-thousand for the coming year. Some 30-thousand spaces will be allocated to white Afrikaner South Africans. Trump has maintained that Afrikaners have suffered racial discrimination and violence in South Africa. The first group of 59 South Africans arrived in America in May, but only 34 more had come as of early August. White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly says refugee admission caps will be determined next month, and any numbers discussed at this point are pure speculation.
