Headline: UNCAPTIONED: US Imposes Visa Restrictions Over Alleged Discrimination In South Africa
Caption: US Imposes Visa Restrictions Over Alleged Discrimination In South Africa. The United States has announced visa restrictions targeting people it accuses of discriminating against South Africa's white minority, further escalating tensions between the two countries. President Donald Trump's administration has criticised South African policies designed to address racial inequality, arguing they discriminate against Afrikaners. South Africa has repeatedly rejected those claims. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the restrictions would target individuals accused of promoting race-based discrimination, inciting violence or enabling land confiscation without compensation. However, Rubio did not identify anyone affected by the measures. Relations between Washington and Pretoria have deteriorated since President Trump returned to office, with the US previously cutting aid and expelling South Africa's ambassador. Trump’s administration has also offered refuge to white South Africans it says are fleeing persecution, another characterisation disputed by the South African government.
