The US has announced visa restrictions on some South Africans due to alleged discrimination against white minority Afrikaners. According to CBS News, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the restrictions will be imposed on officials responsible for, or complicit in, enacting or enforcing laws and policies that allow uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination, and incitement of violence against minority ethnic and racial groups in South Africa.
The South African government has rejected US allegations of discrimination against whites, calling the claims baseless and a result of misinformation. The announcement did not specify individuals who were barred from the US.
The Trump administration has claimed that there is a "white genocide" in South Africa and has criticized its affirmative action policies, as reported by The Guardian.
