The State Department says South Africa's ambassador to the United States, who was declared ''persona non grata'' last week, has until Friday to leave the country.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared Friday evening on social media that South Africa’s ambassador to the U.S. was barred from entering the country. Rubio shared reporting from the far-right media outlet Breitbart News comments by Ambassador Embrahim Rasool linking President Donald Trump to White supremacy.

US Secretary of State Rubio called the ambassador a 'race-baiting politician' who hates America and US President Donald Trump
