U.S. Imposes Visa Restrictions on South Africans Over Race-Based Policies
The U.S. government announced new visa restrictions targeting South African foreign nationals involved in policies enabling uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination, or incitement of violence against minority groups. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that South Africa has not sufficiently addressed these concerns. The move follows tensions between the U.S. and South Africa during President Donald Trump's second term, marked by criticism of the country's racial justice policies.
