U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has declared South Africa‘s Ambassador to the United States, Ebrahim Rasool, persona non grata due to his alleged critical remarks against America and President Trump. This move effectively expels Rasool from the U.S.
Righteous. Proud of Rubio.
Rasool has publicly attacked Trump, loathes Israel and has ties with Islamic extremists. This is the scumbag SA sent us. So dumb.

South African ambassador expelled from US called a ‘race-baiting politician’ by Marco Rubio
Ebrahim Rasool had previously served as the ambassador from 2010 to 2015
By: The Independent, 15 March 2025:
The United States has expelled South Africa’s ambassador, after accusing him of being a “race-baiting politician” who hates America and President Donald Trump.
ADVERTISEMENTSecretary 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 re-posted an article from the right-wing website Breitbart that quoted the envoy saying in a webinar that Trump was leading a white “supremacist” movement.
Ties between the two countries have reached their “lowest point”, since Trump returned to the White House, according to former US ambassador to South Africa Patrick Gaspard.
The president cut US financial aid to the country because he disapproved of its land policy, which aims to expropriate land and even out racial disparities, and its genocide case at the International Court of Justice against Israel.
South Africa’s presidency “noted the regrettable expulsion” of Mr Rasool in a statement.
“The Presidency urges all relevant and impacted stakeholders to maintain the established diplomatic decorum in their engagement with the matter.
“South Africa remains committed to building a mutually beneficial relationship with the United States of America. “
