criticizing Trump, The South African envoy was charged by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio of detesting the US and President Donald Trump, according to the French news agency. Ibrahim Rasoul, the ambassador of South Africa, would not be allowed in the United States, according to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Regarding Trump, Rubio said on the White House’s “X” account handle that Ibrahim Rasoul is a racist politician who despises both the United States and the president.
He claimed that since we don’t have anything to discuss with him, he is unacceptable.
In a statement, the South African presidency expressed its condolences for the unfortunate expulsion and urged all parties involved to handle the situation with tact. According to the president, South Africa is dedicated to establishing a partnership with the US that benefits both parties.
The ambassador’s dismissal is a unique American action and the most recent step in the escalating hostilities between Washington and Pretoria.
Citing a South African law that he claimed permitted the seizure of land from white farmers, Donald Trump had suspended US funding to the country in February.
Growing hostilities:
Donald Trump further heightened tensions last week when he reiterated his claims that the government was “confiscating” white people’s land and said that South African farmers were welcome to settle in the US.
Trump announced on his Truth social media platform that he would quickly extend an invitation to any South African farmers (with families!) attempting to escape for their safety to come to the United States. One of Trump’s closest allies is South African-born billionaire Elon Musk, who has accused the government of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa of having “blatant apartheid property laws.”
