President Trump plans to press President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa to roll back the country’s racial equity laws and to do more to protect Afrikaners, a white ethnic minority, in a meeting scheduled at the White House on Wednesday, according to a White House official.

The meeting comes a little more than a week after the Trump administration welcomed a group of white South Africans to the United States as refugees after they claimed they were persecuted in their home country. Tensions between the two countries have ratcheted up over racial issues, as Mr. Trump’s administration has sought to make global his crusade to eradicate policies around diversity and redressing historical inequities.

Among the topics Mr. Trump is likely to raise is the alleged discrimination against Afrikaners, according to the official, who spoke about the meeting on the condition of anonymity. Members of the white minority group, descendants of European colonialists who ruled during apartheid, were among those brought to the United States on a U.S.-funded charter plane.

Mr. Trump has steadily dismantled the country’s refugee system that had provided sanctuary for those fleeing war, famine and natural disasters, but made an exception to accommodate the expedited resettlement of the Afrikaners.

In the White House meeting, Mr. Trump may also press for the South African government to condemn an anti-apartheid chant that called for the killing of Afrikaners, which the governing party, the African National Congress, distanced itself from years ago.

Mr. Trump, who has also amplified false claims of a “genocide” of white farmers, is also expected to ask that the government of South Africa classify farm attacks as a priority crime, the official said. He is expected to request that U.S. companies be exempt from a requirement that foreign-owned entities sell equity in their businesses to Black South Africans or others who were locked out of ownership opportunities during apartheid.
