US Expels South African Ambassador Over Diplomatic Tensions

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool to leave America by March 21 because he considered Rasool no longer welcome in the United States. The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, took quick diplomatic action due to Rasool’s recent statements that angered President Trump and Americans about race relations.

According to Rubio, Ebrahim Rasool speaks for racism, but he disapproves of America and its President Donald Trump. Rasool explained that Trump supporters took on supremacist ideas because transformation in American society demanded it.

The Biden government and South Africa faced an intense diplomatic problem following this action. Since becoming president, Donald Trump has enforced multiple harmful restrictions against South Africa, especially regarding land ownership reforms. Trump and Musk dislike South Africa’s policy to allow the expropriation of land without payment when redistributing properties to fix apartheid inequalities. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa believes the expulsion should have been avoided and requests all diplomatic relations be managed properly.
