                Executive Order 14204 of February 7, 2025

                
Addressing Egregious Actions of the Republic of 
                South Africa

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Purpose. In shocking disregard of its 
                citizens' rights, the Republic of South Africa (South 
                Africa) recently enacted Expropriation Act 13 of 2024 
                (Act), to enable the government of South Africa to 
                seize ethnic minority Afrikaners' agricultural property 
                without compensation. This Act follows countless 
                government policies designed to dismantle equal 
                opportunity in employment, education, and business, and 
                hateful rhetoric and government actions fueling 
                disproportionate violence against racially disfavored 
                landowners.

                In addition, South Africa has taken aggressive 
                positions towards the United States and its allies, 
                including accusing Israel, not Hamas, of genocide in 
                the International Court of Justice, and reinvigorating 
                its relations with Iran to develop commercial, 
                military, and nuclear arrangements.

                The United States cannot support the government of 
                South Africa's commission of rights violations in its 
                country or its `undermining United States foreign 
                policy, which poses national security threats to our 
                Nation, our allies, our African partners, and our 
                interests.

                Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States 
                that, as long as South Africa continues these unjust 
                and immoral practices that harm our Nation:

                    (a) the United States shall not provide aid or 
                assistance to South Africa; and
                    (b) the United States shall promote the 
                resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-
                sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially 
                discriminatory property confiscation.

                Sec. 3. Assistance. (a) All executive departments and 
                agencies (agencies), including the United States Agency 
                for International Development, shall, to the maximum 
                extent allowed by law, halt foreign aid or assistance 
                delivered or provided to South Africa, and shall 
                promptly exercise all available authorities and 
                discretion to halt such aid or assistance.

                    (b) The head of each agency may permit the 
                provision of any such foreign aid or assistance that, 
                in the discretion of the relevant agency head, is 
                necessary or appropriate.

                Sec. 4. Refugee Resettlement and Other Humanitarian 
                Considerations. The Secretary of State and the 
                Secretary of Homeland Security shall take appropriate 
                steps, consistent with law, to 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. Such plan shall be submitted to 
                the President through the Assistant to the President 
                and Homeland Security Advisor.

                Sec. 5. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or 
the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with 
                applicable law and subject to the availability of 
                appropriations.
                    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    February 7, 2025.
