Rubio reported in a published statement that South Sudan “does not respect the principleaccording to which every country must accept the return of its citizens in a situation where a different country, including the US, want to expel them. “
“The US Department of State undertakes actions aimed at annulment, with immediate effect, all visas issued to the owners of the South Sudan passports and blocking the issuing of such people to such people to prevent them from entering the United States, “says the statement.
Rubio also stated that The US government “will be ready to revise this decision When South Sudan shows full cooperation. “” It is time for the South Sudan temporary government to stop using the United States, “he added.
Reuters points out that the decision was announced at the time South Sudan is threatened with a re -outbreak of the civil war.
The administration of President Trump undertakes – as Reuters notes – “aggressive actions” in the field of immigrationincluding deporting people considered to be illegally staying in the USA. For the first time, however, such actions were taken against all citizens of a given country.
