The British political party Reform UK has proposed new visa restrictions. These restrictions would target citizens of countries seeking reparations for the transatlantic slave trade.
The suggestion stems from a political group in the United Kingdom. This party has seen electoral success in England.
The proposal specifically targets nations asking for compensation for the historical slave trade. This includes the transatlantic slave trade, which involved many African nations.
The UK was a major participant in this historical enterprise. The party's proposal has drawn strong reactions due to this history.
