Rubio Boots South African Ambassador Over Trump Remarks

17 Mar 2025

Description

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, under President Trump's administration, declared South Africa's ambassador to the U.S., Ebrahim Rasool, persona non grata and ejected him from the country. This action followed Ambassador Rasool's public remarks accusing President Trump of leading a global white supremacist movement. The administration cited its commitment to American dominance and disapproval of South Africa's policies, including accusations against Israel and renewed relations with Iran. Furthermore, President Trump had previously ended aid to South Africa and expressed interest in supporting Afrikaner refugees facing discrimination. Rubio asserted that the U.S. would not tolerate anti-Americanism or support for hostile actors. The decision garnered praise from conservative commentators online.
