The United States is kicking out South Africa’s ambassador to Washington, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday, accusing the envoy of hating the country and President Donald Trump.

“We have nothing to discuss with him and so he is considered PERSONA NON GRATA,” Rubio posted on X about ambassador Ebrahim Rasool, calling him a “race-baiting politician.”
