Washington - Donald Trump's administration plans to resettle the first group of white South Africans to the United States next week, US media reported on Thursday, after the president accused Pretoria of "racial discrimination" against them.
Trump is locked in a diplomatic row with South Africa over a land expropriation act that the Republican leader says will lead to the takeover of white-owned farms.
Trump, whose tycoon ally Elon Musk was born in South Africa, has said the law signed in January would "enable the government of South Africa to seize ethnic minority Afrikaners' agricultural property without compensation.
"It allows the government, as a matter of public interest, to decide on expropriations without compensation - but only in exceptional circumstances.
The resettlement plan was first reported by US investigative outlet The Lever, which quoted an April 30 memo saying that the South Africans were scheduled to arrive "within a few days".
