The Trump administration has announced a dramatic reduction in US refugee admissions to a record low of 7,500 annually, with priority given to white South Africans and Afrikaners. This represents a sharp decline from the Biden administration's policy of accepting over 100,000 refugees per year, transforming a program that has resettled over two million persecuted individuals since 1980.
