President Donald J. Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, announced late Friday that the United States had dismissed South Africa’s ambassador, Ebrahim Rasool. The South African government diplomat, while participating in a foreign policy seminar at the Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection (MISTRA) in Johannesburg, referred to President Trump as a white supremacist and declared that the ideology was a motivating factor for the MAGA movement.
“South Africa’s Ambassador to the United States is no longer welcome in our great country. Ebrahim Rasool is a race-baiting politician who hates America and hates @POTUS,” Secretary Rubio announced in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He added: “We have nothing to discuss with him and so he is considered PERSONA NON GRATA.”
The National Pulse previously reported that Secretary Rubio revealed he would not be attending the globalist G20 summit in November this year, which is set to be held in Johannesburg, South Africa. Rubio announced the decision last month, citing the South African government’s adoption of a bill authorizing the state to seize land belonging to white farmers without compensation.
