Trump expels 'race-baiting South African ambassador
The Independent
|March 16, 2025
The United States has expelled South Africa’s ambassador after accusing him of being a “race-baiting politician” who hates the US and president Donald Trump.
Secretary of state Marco Rubio said on Friday that the envoy was “no longer welcome in our great country”.
“Ebrahim Rasool is a race-baiting politician who hates America and hates @POTUS. We have nothing to discuss with him and so he is considered PERSONA NON GRATA.”
Mr Rubio reposted an article from the right-wing website Breitbart that quoted the envoy saying in a webinar that Mr Trump was leading a white “supremacist” movement.
Since Mr Trump returned to the White House, ties between the two countries have reached their “lowest point”, according to Patrick Gaspard, former US ambassador to South Africa.
