The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have come out guns blazing after the executive order by US President Donald Trump sent shockwaves around the globe, saying any Afrikaner who accepted the offer should have their citizenship revoked.
In a statement, the party said it observed the frantic and irrational actions by Trump who halted foreign aid and assistance to South Africa and provided humanitarian relief in the form of resettlement for Afrikaners in the US through its Refugee Admissions Program.
“The Executive Order is clearly illogical as it ignores the fact that Trump most recently on February 4, signed an Executive Order freezing the admission of refugees and cutting funding for the very same resettlement program. This is a testament to the erratic nature of policy making that has overtaken US foreign policy which is controlled by emotions and misinformation,” said the EFF.
