In a bold statement, former U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that South Africa should no longer be part of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies. This comment comes as Trump's decision to skip the summit during South Africa's turn as the group's rotating president.
Speaking at a conference in Miami, Trump emphasized his stance by stating, "South Africa shouldn't even be in the Gs anymore." This marks another of his controversial positions on international economic groups.
In lieu of Trump's attendance, the United States will be represented by Vice President JD Vance at the G20 leaders meeting in Soweto, scheduled for November 22-23. The meeting aims to discuss several pressing global issues.
