The Trump administration is resettling Afrikaners in the United States after halting admission for other refugees. Here’s what to know.

Between the lines: Paul S. Landau, a University of Maryland historian and South African expert, told Axios that allegations that whites in South Africa are under attack and of Trump's offer to resettle white South Africans are based on racism and debunked conspiracy theories. Black women farmers, he said, are the ones facing land loss of farms.

American officials welcomed a group of 59 white South Africans at Washington Dulles International Airport on Monday afternoon, in a ceremony greeting them as refugees based on the argument that they are fleeing discrimination and racially based violence in their home country.
