# US president Donald Trump’s administration has launched ‘Mission South Africa’, a programme prioritising white Afrikaners for refugee resettlement. Documents obtained by The New York Times reveal that US officials have set up refugee centres in Pretoria and are reviewing over eight-thousand-200 applications, with a special focus on Afrikaner farmers. By mid-April, they will submit recommendations on how to move forward with the programme. The move has sparked controversy, with experts warning it undermines longstanding refugee policies.
