President Trump is nominating L. Brent Bozell III to be the U.S. ambassador to South Africa. This nomination comes as U.S.-South Africa relations are particularly tense, following the expulsion of South Africa's ambassador to the U.S. after critical comments about Trump. Bozell, a conservative media critic and supporter of Israel, has shifted his stance from previously opposing Trump to defending him. His history with the Media Research Center and fundraising for Israel after the October 2023 Hamas attacks underscores his commitment to conservative values and Trump's administration.
Mr. Bozell's nomination comes during a time of strained U.S.-South Africa relations and highlights his shift from critic to defender of Trump.
The Trump administration's tensions with South Africa have escalated due to its criticism over Iran relations and the stance against Israel.
In a surprising move, he publicly supported Israel with fundraising efforts after the October 2023 Hamas attacks, highlighting his political alignment.
His nomination also reflects the broader trends in Trump's appointments, favoring individuals with conservative viewpoints and established ties to media.
