特朗普政府已宣布，将对其声称在南非境内针对白人及其他少数群体实施歧视行为的官员实施旅行禁令。
美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥周二表示，他将吊销或拒签那些被认定为负责制定或执行相关法律政策，或是参与其中，从而导致南非境内出现无补偿土地征收、基于种族的歧视以及煽动针对少数族裔群体暴力行为的外国公民。
“美国不会允许此类行为不受惩处，”鲁比奥在一份声明中说道。“这些行为直接破坏和平、经济稳定与法治，且与美国外交政策的核心原则背道而驰。”
南非政府强烈驳斥了美国关于该国存在针对白人歧视的指控，称特朗普去年再次就任总统以来美方提出的相关指控毫无根据，是错误信息导致的结果。
鲁比奥并未指明将有哪些官员会受到旅行限制，但南非少数白人游说团体此前曾呼吁美国对非洲人国民大会的官员实施制裁。该党是南非总统西里尔·拉马福萨所在政党，也是南非议会第一大党。
这是特朗普政府就其声称南非境内白人、特别是阿非利卡人群体遭到本国黑人领导政府歧视一事，对南非采取的最新制裁举措。阿非利卡人主要是17世纪首批抵达南非的荷兰和法国殖民定居者的后裔，曾是南非此前种族隔离制度的核心群体。
南非总人口约6200万，其中白人约450万，这一群体还包括拥有英国或其他血统的白人。
美国援引了南非一项有争议的法律——该法律允许在某些情况下无偿征用闲置私人土地——、旨在为黑人及其他群体创造机会的平权行动政策，以及少数针对白人农民的暴力犯罪案例，作为南非存在整体反白人立场的证据。
特朗普政府还强烈批评南非在联合国国际法院的一桩高度敏感案件中，指控美国盟友以色列对加沙地带的巴勒斯坦人实施种族灭绝。以色列强烈否认这一指控。
在特朗普第二任期内，美国已就所谓南非的反白人及反美政策对其实施了一系列其他制裁措施。其中包括今年禁止南非官员出席在美国举办的二十国集团经济峰会，以及逐步削减对南非艾滋病治疗项目的援助。
美国还为阿非利卡人和其他白人启动了一项难民项目，毫无根据地声称他们是南非人道主义危机的受害者。
美国国务院辩称，阿非利卡人面临“日益加剧的敌意”，包括政界人士的批评言论，以及去年12月南非当局对美国难民处理中心的突袭行动。当时南非官员表示，他们逮捕了在该中心非法工作的肯尼亚人，但美国谴责了这次突袭行动。
美国称，实施制裁是因为南非并未改变其相关政策。
美国驻南非大使馆官方账号周三在X平台上发文称：“这项签证限制政策只是一系列升级措施的第一步，这将展现美国在此事上的坚定决心。”此处所指为鲁比奥的签证公告。
鲁比奥在社交媒体上表示：“正如特朗普先生明确指出的那样，南非政府沉迷于针对阿非利卡少数群体的种族怨恨，以此破坏本国经济，辜负了南非人民。”
U.S. slaps South Africa with new sanctions due to alleged discrimination against White people

The Trump administration has announced that it will impose travel bans on officials it claims are responsible for discrimination against White people and other minority groups in South Africa.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday he would revoke U.S. visas or reject visa applications from foreign nationals found to be responsible for, or complicit in, enacting or enforcing laws and policies that allow uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination and the incitement of violence against minority ethnic and racial groups in South Africa.
“The United States will not allow such behavior to go unchecked,” Rubio said in a statement. “These actions directly undermine peace, economic stability, and the rule of law, and they are incompatible with the pillars of America’s foreign policy.”
The South African government has strongly rejected U.S. allegations of discrimination against whites, calling the claims made by the administration since President Trump returned to office last year baseless and a result of misinformation.
Rubio didn’t identify any officials who would be targeted with the travel restrictions, though a lobby group for minority White people in South Africa has previously called for the U.S. to sanction officials of the African National Congress party, the party of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and the largest in South Africa’s Parliament.
It’s the latest move by the Trump administration to sanction South Africa over its claims that white people, and especially the Afrikaner group, are being discriminated against by their Black-led government. Afrikaners are descended from mainly Dutch and French colonial settlers who first came to South Africa in the 17th century. They were at the heart of South Africa’s previous apartheid system of racial segregation.
There are approximately 4.5 million White people in South Africa’s population of 62 million, which also includes White people with British or other heritage.
The U.S. has cited a contentious South African law that allows the expropriation of unused private land without compensation in some circumstances, affirmative action policies that advance opportunities for Black people and others, and a small number of violent crimes against White farmers as evidence of a larger anti-White stance in South Africa.
The Trump administration has also strongly criticized South Africa’s move to accuse U.S. ally Israel of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza in a highly emotive case in the United Nations’ top court. Israel vehemently denies that allegation.
The U.S. has enforced a series of other sanctions against South Africa during Mr. Trump’s second term for purported anti-White and anti-American policies. They include barring South African officials from meetings of the Group of 20 economic bloc this year in the U.S., and phasing out aid for South Africa’s HIV treatment program.
The U.S. has also launched a refugee program for Afrikaners and other White people, claiming baselessly that they are victims of a humanitarian emergency in South Africa.
The State Department argued that Afrikaners faced “escalating hostility,” including critical statements by politicians and a December raid by South African authorities on a U.S. refugee processing center. At the time, South African officials said they had arrested Kenyans who were working at the center illegally, but the U.S. condemned the raid.
The U.S. says the sanctions are because South Africa hasn’t changed its policies.
“This visa restriction policy is only the first step in a series of escalatory measures that will show America’s firm resolve in this matter,” the official U.S. Ambassador to South Africa account posted on X on Wednesday, referring to Rubio’s visa announcement.
Rubio said on social media that “As Mr. Trump has made clear, the South African people are being failed by a government that is destroying its economy through an obsessive pursuit of racial grievance against the Afrikaner minority.”
