South Africa: U.S. Imposes Visa Restrictions on South Africa, Citing Race-Based Discrimination

The United States announced visa restrictions against individuals accused of discriminating against South Africa's white minority. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the restrictions would target those involved in race-based discrimination, inciting violence, or enabling land confiscation without compensation. South Africa rejected these claims, asserting that its land reform policies aim to address inequalities created under apartheid.
