The United States expells South Africa to Washington, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “We are no longer welcome in our great country.”
Rubio condemned Ebrahim Rasool and President Donald Trump, who hated the United States in X’s posts.
He described him as “racial -based politicians,” and added, “We have nothing to discuss with him.”
Rare movements indicate the latest developments in which the tension between the two countries increases.
The BBC contacted the South African Embassy in Washington, DC.
On Friday, in his position, Rubio was connected to the right -wing outlet Breitbart’s article and cited Rasool’s recent remarks in an online lecture on the Trump administration.
Rasool said in this event, “Donald Trump’s start is assault by mobilizing the current, powerful people, people with power, and in the incumbent of home and abroad.”
He added, “It is a response to a very clear data that shows great demographic changes in the United States, where voters are expected to be 48 % white.
Rubio called Rasool the “Persona Non Grata” and referred to the Latin phrase for “unhearded people.”
Rubio’s position came when he left Canada at a meeting with the Foreign Ministers.
Since Trump’s inauguration, the ties between the United States and South Africa have worsened.
The US president signed an administrative order to freeze support for South Africa last month. This command mentions the “serious behavior” of South Africa and quotes “unfair racial discrimination” against white African people from Dutch settlers.
This command also referred to the new law, the Expration Act, which claims for the African, even if the government takes off its private land.
According to the White House’s statement, South Africa will continue to support bad actors on the world stage and allow the United States to prevent and help the state as long as it allows violent attacks on innocent minority farmers.
According to the Associated Press, the South African government denies the law that the law is related to race, the Associated Press reported.
The White House’s facts tell the country that “horribly discriminated against the minority descendants of the settlement group.”
Low ranking diplomats are sometimes expelled, but in the United States, it is very rare for more high -ranking officials, such as foreign ambassadors, and the Associated Press pointed out that the US or Russia was not tension during the Cold War.
Rasool went back to 2025 before serving as an US ambassador from 2010 to 2015.
He was born and raised in Cape Town. When he was nine, he and his family were forced to be forced to be eliminated from the apartments declared only to white people. As he got older, he became more interested in politics and said that eviction is an important moment in his fostering his future.
