US sanctions South Africa over alleged anti-white discrimination

The Trump administration has announced that it will impose travel bans on officials in South Africa it claims are responsible for discrimination against whites and other minority groups in the country. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that he would revoke visas or reject visa applications from individuals found to be responsible for or complicit in laws and policies that allow for uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination, and the incitement of violence against minority ethnic and racial groups.

The South African government has strongly rejected these allegations, calling them baseless and a result of misinformation.
