A former South African ambassador to the United States, Ebrahim Rasool, has reaffirmed his accusation that President Donald Trump promotes a white supremacist agenda by propagating false claims of a white genocide in South Africa. Rasool stated he has no regrets about his remarks, which resulted in his expulsion from the U.S. earlier this year. He argued that Trump's persistent dissemination of this disinformation, widely debunked by experts, demonstrates a deep-seated bias.
The diplomat linked this behavior to domestic political strategies within the United States. He suggested that amplifying such false narratives aligns with a supremacist instinct aimed at mobilizing certain voter demographics. Rasool's comments highlight ongoing diplomatic tensions between the two nations, further complicated by Trump's initial boycott of the G20 summit hosted by South Africa.
