Trump to press Ramaphosa to restore the laws on racial actions

President Trump plans to put pressure on President Cyril Ramaphosa from South Africa to withdraw laws on the country’s racial actions and to do more to protect Afrikaners, a white ethnic minority, during a meeting scheduled for the White House on Wednesday, according to a White House official.

The meeting comes a little more than a week after the Trump administration hosted a group of white South Africans in the United States as refugees after stating that they had been persecuted in their country of origin. Tensions between the two countries have withdrew on racial issues, while Mr. Trump’s administration sought to make the Global his crusade to eradicate policies related to diversity and to repair historical inequalities.

Among the subjects, Trump is likely to raise is the alleged discrimination against Afrikaners, according to the official, who spoke of the meeting under the cover of anonymity. The members of the group of white minorities, descendants of European colonialists who reigned during apartheid, were one of the people brought to the United States on a charter aircraft funded by the United States.

Trump regularly dismantled the country’s refugee system which had provided a sanctuary to those who flee war, famine and natural disasters, but were an exception to accommodate the accelerated resettlement of Afrikaners.

At the meeting of the White House, Trump could also put pressure for the South African government to condemn an ​​anti-apartheid song which called for the murder of the Afrikaners, that the ruling party, the African National Congress, distant from years ago.

Trump, who also amplified the false allegations of a “genocide” of white farmers, should also ask that the government of South Africa will classify agricultural attacks as a priority crime, the official said. He should request that American companies be exempt from a requirement that entities belonging to foreigners sell equity in their business to black South Africans or others who have been locked by property opportunities during apartheid.
