# The Congress of the People says South Africa will not be treated as a colony of America, nor will it be dictated to by US president Donald Trump, who continuously reacts to misinformation about the country. This follows the expulsion of South Africa’s ambassador to the US, Ebrahim Rasool, after he was declared persona non grata by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. COPE says Rasool’s expulsion is the latest attack from the Trump administration, which has continuously targeted the country for its support of Palestinian rights.
