The US Embassy in Pretoria expressed enthusiasm for collaborating under Ambassador-Designate Bozell’s leadership. “The US Embassy looks forward to working under his leadership to advance American priorities and promote a safer, stronger, and more prosperous America through continued engagement with South Africa,” the embassy stated.
Bozell will formally assume his duties upon presenting his credentials to the South African government, a ceremonial step expected soon.
