US ambassador Brent Bozell III vows to boost Pretoria-Washington ties

The US ambassador to South Africa, Brent Bozell III, in a message on the embassy’s social media post, says his first task is to strengthen relations between Pretoria and Washington.
Earlier this week, Bozell presented his credentials to the government as a new US ambassador.
South Africa and the US are at loggerheads after Donald Trump became the President last January.
However, Bozell says as the US marks 250 years of independence, he is reminded that liberty, justice, and human dignity are not just American ideals – they are universal aspirations.
“I look forward to working with South African leaders, innovators and communities to amplify what is best in building our nations. More than 500 American companies are proudly invested in South Africa’s growth. Thousands of Americans leave and work here, drawn by this country’s energy and potential. We face challenges, yes, and some are serious, but strong relationships are not built on those challenges but on the power of shared purpose.”
