The United States is expelling South Africa’s ambassador to Washington Ebrahim Rasool.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Friday, accusing the envoy of hating both the country and President Donald Trump.
“South Africa’s Ambassador to the United States is no longer welcome in our great country,” Rubio posted on X.
He described Ebrahim Rasool as “a race-baiting politician who hates America and hates @POTUS,” referring to Trump by his official White House X account.
“We have nothing to discuss with him, and so he is considered PERSONA NON GRATA.”
