# The Department of International Relations and Cooperation has demarched US Ambassador Leo Brent Bozell for a third time in nine months. He has been called to explain what the department describes as “undiplomatic conduct”. This comes after he penned an op-ed, criticising president Cyril Ramaphosa and his government for ignoring president Donald Trump administration’s five asks. These are condemning the ‘Kill the Boer!’ chant, prioritising rural crime, scrapping expropriation without compensation, exempting US companies from Black Economic Empowerment, and Pretoria not interfering with Trump’s programme offering refugees status to white Afrikaners.
