Not officially. Does that matter though? He's in the government anyway
You could argue that if the US population had elected a Nazi, they would have good reason to cut ties, as you could argue that the country wants nazism.
In this case the US population didn't directly elect the Nazi, and therefore you could argue that it isn't directly the country that wants nazism, so there's hope for the next election cycle and maybe even before then. So it might make sense to keep some ties for when things might improve again.
Day to day it doesn't at all matter whether the Nazi was elected or not, as long as the Nazi is allowed to wreck the country.
