美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥宣布对南非官员实施签证限制，指控他们对南非白人少数族裔进行歧视。1这些限制措施针对那些促进"基于种族的歧视、煽动暴力或在南非进行无偿土地没收"的人。1鲁比奥在声明中表示，"南非政府未能充分解决之前提出的关切"。1美国驻比勒陀利亚大使馆进一步警告，新的签证限制"只是一系列升级措施的第一步"。1
这一举措反映了特朗普政府与南非关系的恶化。1美国声称南非政府通过土地没收等政策对白人阿非利卡人进行歧视和迫害。1特朗普去年曾对阿非利卡人提供难民身份，声称白人农民遭到杀害和"迫害"。1南非政府对这些指控反复予以否认。1此前，南非已因出口美国的商品在去年8月被征收30%的关税——这是撤哈拉以南非洲地区最高的税率。1
南非白人仅占人口的7%以上，大部分私人农地由白人拥有。12025年5月，南非总统拉马福萨访问白宫，随行代表团中包括联合政府的白人成员和著名白人高尔夫球手。1
The United States has imposed visa restrictions on South African officials accused of discriminating against the country's white minority.1 Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the measure, which targets individuals who promote "race-based discrimination, incite violence, or engage in uncompensated land expropriation" in South Africa.1 Rubio stated that "the South African government has failed to adequately address concerns previously raised," signaling the Trump administration's escalating friction with South Africa.1
The U.S. Embassy in Pretoria warned that the visa restrictions represent "only the first step in a series of escalating measures," indicating further action may follow.1 This reflects broader tensions between Washington and South Africa. The Trump administration has previously granted refugee status to white South Africans, claiming white farmers face killings and "persecution," while South Africa's government has repeatedly denied such allegations.1 Last August, South Africa faced 30 percent tariffs on goods exported to the United States—the highest rate in sub-Saharan Africa—reflecting the deteriorating bilateral relationship.1
White South Africans comprise just over 7 percent of the population, yet control most privately owned farmland.1 In May 2025, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is scheduled to visit the White House, with his delegation set to include white members of the governing coalition and a prominent white golfer.1
