Diplomatic expulsions of U.S. ambassadors remain infrequent, with trader consensus favoring no such action by December 31, 2026. Recent bilateral strains, including a Canadian parliamentary petition with over 200,000 signatures urging Ottawa to declare Ambassador Pete Hoekstra persona non grata over perceived interference, have drawn attention but produced no formal government action or recall request as of mid-August. Broader U.S. foreign policy frictions, such as Middle East evacuations and lingering tensions with actors like Iran, have not escalated to host-country expulsions. Historical precedent shows governments typically pursue quieter diplomatic channels or personnel adjustments before taking the rare step of formal expulsion, supporting current market positioning amid limited confirmed triggers in the remaining resolution window.

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.
