The expulsion was followed by the former US President Donald Trump’s controversial remarks during a webinar. The US government later declared it Persona Non Grata.
“It was not our choice to come home, but we do not regret it. If we want to say, we did not face the lies of a white genocide in South Africa. However, we answered journalists.

Rasool disappointed in the U.S. market for African countries, including African growth and Opportunity Activity (AGEA), which provides soft trade opportunities for the US market, including South African countries.
“We preferred to come here to say we win for you, but we did not win … We chose to come here and win for trade transactions, but we could not do it.”
Despite these failures, Rasool stressed that South Africa’s relations with the United States extended from the White House to the Congress and the American community.
“After the announcement Persona Non GrataWe have come here yet and we need to reset and reset America’s relationship. Our relations with America and over 50 were not in the white house. He sometimes visited the Congress and was always with the people of the United States. “
