Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : "Last year, the UN found no South Africans were eligible for refugee status.
39% : " Ramaphosa, who's been trying to mend relations with South Africa's second-biggest trading partner, said he told Trump in a recent conversation that the U.S. had been misinformed about a "fringe group" of Afrikaners who wanted to leave -- and that they didn't fit the description of refugees.
22% : Trump said he understood that South African leaders will come and see him next week, while doubling down on his criticism and his insistence that American officials won't attend upcoming G-20 meetings hosted by President Cyril Ramaphosa unless the farmers' plight is addressed.
18% : "It's a genocide that's taking place that you people don't want to write about," Trump told reporters in Washington on Monday.
15% : Tensions between Washington and Pretoria have run high since Trump accused the South African authorities of seizing land from White Afrikaners and offered to resettle them as refugees in the U.S. Elon Musk, the president's Pretoria-born billionaire backer, has spread a conspiracy theory that there is a "genocide" of White people in the country -- a sentiment that Trump echoed on Monday.
