约翰内斯堡9月16日电(路透社)——南非外交部周三表示,已对美国国务卿马可·卢比奥前一天宣布的对部分南非公民实施签证限制一事表示关切。

该外交部在一份声明中补充称,美国的此番声明与“边缘团体对南非国内政策的歪曲描述”相呼应。

“我们始终认为,美南双边关系中出现的挑战,只能通过双方外交渠道内国家行为体之间的建设性接触来解决,而非单方面行动,”声明中写道。

自第二任任期伊始,特朗普就多次批评南非,他谎称南非存在对白人少数族裔的种族迫害,并援引旨在解决种族隔离时代遗留不平等问题的平权法案作为依据。

目前尚不清楚新的签证限制将波及哪些人群。美国驻南非大使周三早些时候在X平台上发帖称,这些措施“只是一系列升级举措的第一步”。

JOHANNESBURG, Sept 16 (Reuters) – South Africa’s foreign ministry said on Wednesday that it had noted with concern U.S. visa restrictions on some people from South Africa announced by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio a day earlier.

The foreign ministry added in a statement that the U.S. announcement aligned with “the mischaracterisation of South Africa’s domestic policies by fringe groups”.

“We maintain that challenges in our bilateral relations with the USA can only be resolved by constructive engagement through state actors on both sides of the diplomatic channel not unilateral acts,” the statement said.

Trump has repeatedly criticized South Africa since the start of his second term for what he falsely claims is the racial persecution of its white minority, citing affirmative action laws aimed at addressing the inequality that has persisted since apartheid.

It was not clear who would be impacted by the new visa restrictions. The U.S. Ambassador to South Africa said in a post on X earlier on Wednesday that they were “only the first step in a series of escalatory measures”.
