US President Donald Trump has said that representatives of his administration will not participate in the G20 summit, which will take place on November 22-23, 2025, in Johannesburg, citing “violations of the rights” of white South Africans. He announced this on the social network Truth Social, and his position has been reported by leading publications.
According to Trump, holding G20 meetings in South Africa is a “disgrace,” and the country’s authorities allow the murder and illegal seizure of land from Afrikaners. The South African side called such statements unfounded and “regretted” the US decision.
South Africa will chair the G20 in 2025, with a leadership meeting scheduled for November 22-23 in Johannesburg.
The Trump administration has previously signaled a tough stance on South Africa, including public statements on the situation surrounding white farmers, which have been criticized by the expert community and South African officials.
