Trump refugee plan mulls reserving 30,000 spots for white South Africans

AI Summary

The Trump administration is considering a refugee admissions cap of 40,000 for the upcoming year, with a potential 30,000 slots allocated to white South Africans, specifically Afrikaners. This marks a significant shift in US refugee policy and a drastic reduction from the 100,000 refugees admitted under Biden in 2024, though higher than Trump's previous record low of 15,000.

Internal discussions also include a significantly lower cap of 12,000.
