White Afrikaner separatists from the town of Orania in South Africa are seeking recognition as an autonomous entity and are looking for support from the United States, including President Donald Trump. The town, which is the only place in South Africa where all residents are white, wants to become a breakaway state. Orania leaders recently visited the US to meet with influencers, think-tanks, and low-ranking Republican politicians. They are seeking investment for infrastructure, energy independence, and housing to keep up with population growth. South African authorities have dismissed their efforts, stating that Orania is subject to the laws of South Africa and the country's constitution.
