The Trump administration is considering a new grant to fund research into crime against minority groups in South Africa, according to a ProPublica investigation. Under the Trump administration, DRL is directing money toward right-wing causes in Europe and elsewhere. Trump administration officials suggested funding research on crime against Afrikaners in South Africa. Former diplomats who have worked on human rights issues said they were surprised this issue would be prioritized over other human rights concerns in the region. Research has found that white South African farmers are not victims of crime at higher rates than other groups.
