# US president Donald Trump has nominated conservative activist, author, and media commentator, Leo Brent Bozell The Third, as ambassador to South Africa. He founded the Media Research Centre, a conservative watchdog group that critiques perceived liberal bias in mainstream media. This comes amid strained ties between the two countries. Trump has been about South Africa’s expropriation policies, and its case at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide. The Senate must still confirm Bozell’s appointment.
