Trump announced no American officials would attend the Summit amidst these issues and expressed plans to host the 2026 G20 in Miami amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
US President Donald Trump has labeled the decision to hold the G20 Summit in South Africa as a “total disgrace,” citing alleged human rights abuses against Afrikaners in the country. Trump declared that no US official would attend the Summit while these issues persist.
Earlier, Trump had announced his nonattendance at the G20 Summit, stating concerns over South Africa's membership in the major economies group. He criticized the country's actions against Afrikaners, involving land confiscations, portraying such moves as government-enabled racial discrimination.
