The US says that the South African ambassador ‘is no longer welcome’ | News Donald Trump
Trump’s administration has often paired South Africa for the heritage of Apartheid and criticism of Israel.
President Donald Trump’s administration has proclaimed South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool Personal Non Grata in the United States.
In a post on the social media on Friday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Rasool “no longer welcome in our great country.”
“Ebrahim Rasool is a race from a race that hates America and hates Potus,” Rubio wroteusing acronym for the President of the United States.
“We have nothing to talk to with him, so he is considered a person’s non grate.”
Rubio related his remarks to the right of Breitbart’s right media, which is quoted by Rasool, as Trump mobilized “superior instinct” and “white victim” as a “whistle of the dog” during the 2024 election.
Rasoo’s expulsion is the latest in a series of moves of Trump’s administration that castes South Africa, a country that supported Palestinian rights and helped lead a case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which accuses Israel, an American allies, for the US Allies genocidal works In Gaza.
Earlier this week, News Outlet Semafor reported that Rasool, a diplomat veteran, was deprived of what were usually routine opportunities to talk to the officials of the American State Department, such as the Republic of the High Level, from Trump’s inauguration.
In January, Rasool returned to his place as Ambassador of South Africa to the United States. He used to serve as 2010 to 2015, during the Barack Obama Presidency.
South Africa is managed by the African National Congress (ANC), a party that arose from the fight against Apartheid, which ended the rule of a white minority in that country.
But his government was a target of a special anger for Trump’s administration and allies like the right -wing billionaire Elon Musk, which is from South African origin.
The Trump Government has accused the Government of Anc of discriminating its white population.
Trump has inserted help in South Africa and in February – at a time when the White House almost completely closed the Refugee reception because of people running away from violence and repression around the world – Trump offered accelerated citizenship For white African “run away from discrimination based on the race.”
The announcement was the response to the Law on the distribution of land that was supposed to resolve the inequality that continued from the era of Apartheid. The South African government says Trump was mis -informed of the law, which was not used to subtract any country.
Vincent Magwenya, a spokesman for South African President Cyril Ramaphos, told Reuters to the news agency that his country “will not participate in a counter -productive megaphone diplomacy” – referring to Trump’s tendency to issue omissions in southern Africa on social media.
Despite Trump’s portraits of African as a besieged minority, the South African authorities say that the economic legacy of Apartheid, during which the White South Africans performed almost total control over the economy, persists in the continuation of economic inequality between the black and white residents.
The 2017 government audit found that, although the blacks make up 80 percent of South Africa’s population, they owned only 4 percent of the private agricultural land.
White Africa who own a vast majority of South African agricultural land accounts for only 8 percent of the population.
Rasool and his family were expelled from their home in Cape Town during the Apartheid period, when the blacks forcibly moved to a certain non-white area with almost no resources or economic capabilities.
