Rising tension .. America expels the Ambassador of South Africa: “Trump hates”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Friday that the United States expelled the Ambassador of South Africa to Washington, accusing him of hating the country and its President Donald Trump.
“We have nothing to discuss with him, and therefore he is considered an unwanted person,” said a publication of Rubio on the X platform. South African ambassador Rubio described “a political fueling ethnic tensions.”

Rising tension

The expulsion of the South African ambassador falls in the context of an escalating tension between Washington and Bretoria.
In February, Trump froze US aid to South Africa, against the backdrop of a law to confiscate property, which was considered a discrimination against white farmers.
One of Trump’s closest allies was born in South Africa, Elon Musk, who accused the government of South African President Cyril Ramabuza of following “public racist royal laws”.

The apartheid system

South African land ownership is an exciting issue, as it raises efforts to address the inherited inequality from the apartheid system.
During South Africa, a meeting of the Group of Twenty’s foreign ministers last February, Ramaboza described a “wonderful” call between him and Trump after the latter took over the US presidency for a second consecutive state in January.
However, he pointed out that the relationships later “seemed a little exit from its course.”
