Diplomatic frictions have surfaced in 2026, including a Canadian petition with over 60,000 signatures urging expulsion of U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra amid comments on bilateral issues, yet Ottawa has taken no such action. The most recent notable case of ambassador expulsion involved the United States declaring South Africa's envoy persona non grata in March 2025, with no reciprocal moves against U.S. representatives reported since. Multiple U.S. ambassadorial posts remain vacant due to internal U.S. decisions, reducing immediate flashpoints. Trader consensus at 76.5% for no expulsion by year-end reflects the infrequency of such steps in practice and the absence of confirmed escalations from foreign governments that would trigger market resolution.

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.

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.
