WASHINGTON-(MaraviPost)-US President Donald Trump has said he will not attend the upcoming G20 summit in Johannesburg, arguing that South Africa “no longer deserves a place” among the world’s major economies.
Speaking at the American Business Forum in Miami, Trump said, “South Africa shouldn’t even be in the G’s anymore, because what’s happened there is bad.”
Vice President J.D. Vance will represent the United States at the meeting, set for November 22–23.
Trump, a longtime critic of South Africa’s land reform policies, has accused the government of targeting white farmers and committing “massive human rights violations”—claims Pretoria has dismissed as “factually incorrect” and based on a distorted view of its policies.
