The way to Trump's hug white South African

It was May 2019 and national security officers were in the situation space about Iran when President Trump changed the topic abruptly. He wanted to speak to South African farmers about the granting of asylum and citizenship.

Mr. Trump had already preferred the idea and claimed that the farmers were a persecuted minority group that was driven out of their country, said John R. Bolton, his then national security advisor at the meeting.

Mr. Bolton said he had not thought about Mr. Trump's wish. The president had accepted random ideas and false stories from White African activists, said Bolton.

“It was never anything, so I just spent it as a typical Trump,” recently recalled Mr. Bolton in an interview. “A random person tells him something and he is obsessed with it.”

Five years later, Mr. Trump's views of white farmers in South Africa shape the US foreign policy in his second term. On Monday, the first group of Africans, a white ethnic minority who ruled during apartheid in South Africa, landed in Washington when the Trump administration rose a refugee system that caused a refuge for those with war, famine and natural disasters.

The administration welcomes the white South Africans after having exposed the program for everyone else, including other Africans who have been waiting and checked and clarified in refugee camps for years, as well as Afghans who supported the US war in their country.
