Leo Brent Bozell III, President Trump's nominee for U.S. Ambassador to South Africa, underwent a confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday. Republican Chairman Jim Risch emphasized that the relationship between the U.S. and South Africa is at a critical juncture and urged Bozell to advance U.S. interests while addressing concerns such as corruption and South Africa's growing ties with Iran, China, and Russia. Democrats questioned Bozell rigorously during the hearing. If confirmed, Bozell will be tasked with pressing the South African government on these "unaddressed concerns."
