The first group that flies to us

The first set of 49 white South Africans to the refugee status of the Presidential Administration Donald Trump goes to the United States.

On Sunday, they sat on a flight from Johannesburg, which should be landed in Washington on Monday.

This happens after the weekend speculation about when African -aids left for America, against the background of criticism from the South Africa government, which described the US relocation scheme as “politically motivated”.

Relations between South Africa and the United States were strained after the executive order in February, in which President Trump said Africanners were victims of “racial discrimination”.

The United States has criticized the domestic South African policy, accusing the government of keeping land for white farmers without compensation – what the South African nation says.

Trump’s best adviser, born in South Africa, Elon Musk, previously stated that in South Africa there was a “white people” genocide and accused the government of passing “property laws”.

Claims of the genocide of white people were widely discredited.

In a statement on Friday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Africa stated that the allegations of the government, discriminated against the white minority of the country, were “unjustified” and that the US relocation scheme was an attempt to undermine the “constitutional democracy”.

The statement added that the country worked “tirelessly” to stop discrimination, given the history of racial oppression at apartheid.

Bilateral tensions have been tense several times when President Trump instructed his administration to formulate plans to relocate Africans, in the US, mainly with Dutch origin.

In March, Ambassador of South Africa to the US, Ebrah Rasol, was expelled Following the accusation of President Trump of using a “white sacrifice as a dog’s whistle”, which led to the US accused Mr. Rasol of “Banagination of Race”.

The United States also criticized South Africa for taking away an “aggressive” position against Israel in the International Court (CU), where Pretoria has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government against people in Gaza – the Israelis persecuted.

The current group of white South African refugees consists of 49 people who are expected to land in Washington later on Monday before continuing in Texas.

President Trump’s openness to the adoption of African refugees comes when the United States is involved in wider repression by migrants and asylum seekers.
