CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — The Trump administration’s decision to expel the South African ambassador is its latest move against a country it has singled out for sanctions and accused of being anti-white and anti-American. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted on X that Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool was “no longer welcome in our great country” and said he was “a race-baiting politician” who hates America and U.S. President Donald Trump. Rubio’s post didn't explain what was behind the decision but linked to a story by the conservative Breitbart news site.
