 U.S announces visa curbs for some foreign nationals in South Africa Secretary of State Marco Rubio ‌said on Tuesday the U.S. government was announcing a new visa restriction ​policy targeting some foreign nationals ​in South Africa. The 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. "The South African government has not adequately addressed the ​previously laid ​out ⁠concerns," Rubio said, Reuters reported. Relations between Washington and Pretoria have ​soured since the start of ​Donald ⁠Trump's second term, with the U.S. president criticizing the country ⁠for ​its policies aimed at ​addressing racial inequality.

 Ben Stiller demands White House remove “Tropic Thunder” clip from White House video: 'War is not a movie'


Ben Stiller has publicly criticized the White House for using a clip from his 2009 comedy Tropic Thunder in a recent social media post. 


The video, shared Thursday on the official White House X account, featured scenes from various films and TV shows, including Top Gun, Braveheart, Iron Man, Breaking Bad, and Tropic Thunder, with the caption “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY.” The clip in question showed Tom Cruise’s character Les Grossman dancing.


On Friday, Stiller reposted the video and demanded that the administration remove the footage, stressing that neither he nor the film’s team had given permission. 


“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” he wrote. 


His comments came amid heightened tensions following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, with the White House’s video including imagery of warfare labeled “Unclassified.”


Stiller joins a growing list of artists objecting to the unauthorized use of their work by the administration. 


Sabrina Carpenter condemned the use of her song “Juno” in a montage of ICE raids, Kenny Loggins demanded the removal of “Danger Zone” from an AI-generated video, and Kesha denounced the use of her track “Blow” in a TikTok post she said promoted violence. 


Each artist has spoken out against what they see as inappropriate and misleading use of their creative content in political messaging.
