This market will resolve to “Yes” if any U.S. ambassador is expelled from their assigned country by the government of that country between market creation and March 31, 2026, 11:59: PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Any expulsion from a country where a U.S. ambassador is assigned as of the time of this market’s creation will qualify. For the purposes of resolving this market, an official announcement that a U.S. ambassador will be or is being expelled will suffice regardless of whether or not the respective ambassador leaves the country within this market’s timeframe. Qualifying announcements must be definitive, unambiguous, official statements issued by an authorized governmental person or entity. Whether the ambassador resigns, is recalled, or otherwise departs voluntarily will have no bearing on the resolution of this market. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the government of the United States, including the U.S. Department of State, as well as official information from the relevant expelling government; however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may also be used. With the March 31 deadline now passed on April 1 without any verified instance of a host country declaring a U.S. ambassador persona non grata or formally expelling them, traders reflect near-unanimous confidence in a "No" resolution, pricing it at 100%. This stems from the rarity of such escalatory diplomatic actions against U.S. envoys, even amid recent bilateral frictions like South Africa's summons and rebukes of Ambassador Leo Brent Bozell III over undiplomatic remarks, alongside EFF demands for his removal that went unheeded. Opposition rhetoric from ANC figures like Fikile Mbalula during March marches failed to prompt action. While late-breaking confirmations of obscure expulsions or disputes over definitions could theoretically challenge resolution, no such developments have surfaced, solidifying the wisdom-of-crowds consensus.
