Musk was born in South Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>South Africa&#8217;s government has <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-musk-south-africa-funding-cut-aid-adf4db9dfe9eeafa3f4bac79b3d77137\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">strongly denied<\/a> any land confiscations or racially motivated discrimination, saying the law being scrutinized targets land not being used or not serving the public interest.<\/p>\n<p>In his order, Mr. Trump instructed Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to &#8220;prioritize humanitarian relief, including admission and resettlement through the United States Refugee Admissions Program, for Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear how and when that plan would be enacted, since refugee arrivals were brought to a halt by Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In an <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-immigration-executive-orders-inauguration\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">executive order he signed<\/a><\/span> on Jan. 20, the president argued refugees were a strain on receiving communities and said he would only restart the refugee program if he concluded that doing so would serve the interests of the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump&#8217;s order does, however, allow officials to make case-by-case exemptions to the freeze in refugee arrivals.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. refugee program is designed to offer a safe haven to people abroad fleeing persecution based on their race, religion, political views or other factors. Typically, refugees are referred to the U.S. by United Nations officials and spend months or years in third countries undergoing interviews, as well as security and medical checks, before being allowed into the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, most of those allowed into the U.S. through the refugee program have hailed from countries in Africa and Asia plagued by war, ethnic strife or repression of minority groups.<\/p>\n<p>The president&#8217;s order also cuts off any aid or assistance to South Africa as long as it keeps its new land-reform law in place. This raises further questions about the U.S.&#8217; <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/funding-aids-relief-pepfar-foreign-aid-millions-medication\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">AIDS response program, PEPFAR<\/a><\/span>, which provides HIV treatment to millions of adults and hundreds of thousands of children, many in African countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration ordered a freeze on all foreign aid that encompassed international <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/some-u-s-officials-fear-disaster-as-trump-upends-ebola-response-in-uganda\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">medical<\/a><\/span> and humanitarian efforts.
