Justin Sun's Diplomatic Status Revoked

Justin Sun's Diplomatic Journey

Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, was appointed as Grenada’s permanent ambassador to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in December 2021. This prestigious role was granted by the New National Party, the then-governing body of Grenada. Sun embraced the title "His Excellency" and was tasked with promoting trade, investment, and development in Grenada.

Changes in Government

In the general elections of 2022, Grenada’s National Democratic Congress replaced the New National Party. This political shift led to significant reorganization, including the recall of all ambassadors appointed by the previous government. Among those affected was Justin Sun, whose diplomatic status was reportedly revoked in June 2022.

Continuing Self-Identification

Despite the revocation, Sun continues to identify as Grenada’s ambassador to the WTO. His social media profiles still reflect this title, and intriguingly, the official Twitter account of Grenada’s permanent mission to the WTO also lists him as the ambassador.

Implications and Observations

The revocation of Sun's diplomatic status highlights the impact of political changes on diplomatic appointments. It raises questions about the continuity of diplomatic roles and the public portrayal of such positions. Sun's continued self-identification as an ambassador suggests complexities in diplomatic status recognition and its personal and professional implications.
