WASHINGTON, May 26 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump increased the refugee admissions ceiling by 10,000 for this year to allow more white South Africans to come into the country, a signed presidential determination reviewed by Reuters showed.

The document, dated May 21, said white South Africans of Afrikaner ethnicity face an emergency situation due to ‘incitement of racially motivated violence’ by the government and political parties in the majority-Black country.
