The order issued by the U.S. President on February 7, 2025, addresses South Africa's Expropriation Act 13 of 2024, which allows the South African government to seize agricultural property from ethnic minority Afrikaners without compensation. The act follows other policies that are seen as discriminatory and harmful to the rights of Afrikaners. South Africa's government has also taken positions that challenge U.S. foreign policy, including accusations against Israel and strengthening ties with Iran.

In response, the United States will:

1. Cease aid to South Africa as long as these practices continue.
2. Promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees facing discrimination.
3. Direct U.S. agencies to halt foreign aid to South Africa unless deemed necessary for specific purposes.
4. Ensure priority for Afrikaner refugees through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.

The order emphasizes humanitarian relief for those affected by racial discrimination in South Africa.
