In a remarkable display of urgency, more than 10,000 Afrikaners have expressed interest in seeking asylum in the United States as refugees within a mere 18 hours. This sudden surge in asylum requests comes at a time when diplomatic relations between South Africa and the US are deteriorating.

The deteriorating diplomatic relationship between South Africa and the US has been exacerbated by former President Donald Trump’s imposition of sanctions on South Africa. Interestingly, Trump has reportedly offered support to the Afrikaner community, which has been a subject of controversy in the past. The Afrikaner community has historically been associated with the apartheid regime in South Africa, which has led to ongoing tensions and debates about their role in the country’s history.

The US Refugee Admissions Program has been suspended until further notice, with the Trump administration citing concerns about national security and public safety. Despite this suspension, the US government has indicated that it may consider admitting refugees on a case-by-case basis, provided they meet specific criteria.
