**Recent public pressure in Canada has highlighted diplomatic friction but has not led to any expulsion.** Over 60,000 Canadians signed a parliamentary petition urging the government to declare U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra persona non grata, citing alleged interference in domestic politics and comments tied to U.S. trade and sovereignty issues. Canadian analysts and officials have indicated the petition is unlikely to alter government policy, given ongoing bilateral trade negotiations and the high costs of expelling an ambassador from a close ally. No other country has taken formal expulsion steps in the past month. Broader U.S. diplomatic vacancies and prior 2025 incidents, such as the South African case, remain outside the immediate window and have not triggered reciprocal actions. Expulsions are rare escalatory measures that risk damaging trade, security cooperation, and reciprocal diplomatic access. With roughly four and a half months remaining until the December 31 resolution date, the absence of confirmed government actions or imminent triggers supports traders’ consensus that the outcome is unlikely.

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 December 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.
