Rubio announces new visa restrictions targeting South African officials for ‘race-based discrimination’

  • On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a new visa restriction policy targeting foreign nationals in South Africa involved in alleged "race-based discrimination" and "uncompensated land seizures."
  • Relations between Washington and Pretoria have soured since President Donald Trump criticized land reform policies, claiming in the Oval Office that White South Africans face "persecution and genocide."
  • By late June of this year, The United States had admitted more than 7,700 Afrikaners while largely shuttering its refugee program for the rest of the world.
  • Rubio stated these actions "directly undermine peace, economic stability, and the rule of law," urging South Africa to address legislation and threats of land expropriation.
  • CNN has investigated claims of White "genocide" in South Africa and found no evidence, while President Cyril Ramaphosa denied the government supports racial violence or discriminatory rhetoric.
