華盛頓，9月15日（路透）——美國國務卿魯比歐週二表示，美國正宣布一項新的簽證限制政策，針對部分來自南非的外國公民；美國總統唐納・川普（Donald Trump）政府與南非的關係持續降溫。WASHINGTON, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday the U.S. was announcing a new visa restriction policy targeting some foreign nationals from South Africa as President Donald Trump's administration continues to cool ties with the country.

川普政府在一系列議題上批評南非，包括旨在處理種族不平等的措施；川普聲稱，這些措施損害這個非洲國家的白人人口利益。The Trump administration has criticized South Africa over a range of issues including actions aimed at addressing racial inequality that Trump claims hurt the African nation's white population.

華盛頓也批評南非的土地改革政策，以及南非就美國盟友以色列攻擊加薩一事，在國際法院對以色列提起的種族滅絕案。Washington has also criticized land reform policies and South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, over the U.S. ally's assault on Gaza.

魯比歐在聲明中表示，這項簽證限制政策針對「在南非制定或執行法律或政策時負有責任或共謀的外國公民；這些法律或政策使未補償的土地徵收、基於種族的歧視，及／或煽動對少數族裔或種族群體成員迫在眉睫的暴力成為可能」。The visa curb policy targets "foreign nationals who are responsible for, or complicit in, the enactment or implementation of laws or policies that enable uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination, and/or the incitement of imminent violence against members of minority ethnic or racial groups in South Africa," Rubio said in a statement.

魯比歐說：「南非政府並未充分處理先前已提出的疑慮。」"The South African government has not adequately addressed the previously laid out concerns," Rubio said.

南非駐美大使館未立即回應媒體詢問。The South African embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

普利托利亞表示，沒有證據顯示白人遭受歧視或迫害，且白人種族優越的想法威脅南非後種族隔離時代的團結、主權與外交關係。南非總統西里爾・拉瑪佛沙（Cyril Ramaphosa）已呼籲全球共同戳破有關白人受迫害的不實說法。Pretoria says there is no evidence of discrimination or persecution against white people and that ideas of white racial superiority are a threat to South Africa's post-apartheid unity, its sovereignty and its diplomatic relations. President Cyril Ramaphosa has called for global efforts to debunk false stories about white persecution.

川普先前已削減對南非的援助，向白人少數族群阿非利卡人提供庇護，驅逐南非大使，並對這個非洲國家的白人遭種族滅絕作出不實說法。Trump has previously cut aid to South Africa, offered refuge to white minority Afrikaners, expelled the country's ambassador and made false claims of white genocide in the African nation.

川普將南非描繪成對白人而言危險且具壓迫性的國家，也與他在美國國內的一些政策一致；這些政策鎖定旨在處理邊緣化群體歷史性不平等的多元化倡議。川普把這些倡議描述為歧視白人和男性。Trump's portrayal of South Africa as dangerous and oppressive for white people also aligns with some of his domestic policies that have targeted diversity initiatives aimed at addressing historic inequities for marginalized groups. Trump casts them as discriminatory against white people and men.

魯比歐週二的聲明並未點名任何人。Rubio's statement on Tuesday did not identify any person by name.

南非種族隔離制度結束30年後，一些邊緣團體哀嘆民主帶來白人權力的喪失。雖然南非是全球謀殺率最高的國家之一，但多數受害者是黑人。Three decades after the end of apartheid in South Africa, some fringe groups lament the loss of white power that democracy brought. While South Africa has one of the highest murder rates in the world, most victims are Black.
