Trump says no US government official will attend G20 summit in South Africa
President Trump cited alleged human rights abuses against white Afrikaner farmers and canceled all US official attendance at the G20 summit, calling South Africa's role a 'total disgrace.'
- On Friday, President Donald Trump announced a U.S. boycott of the Group of 20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa on Nov. 22 and 23, with Vice President JD Vance no longer attending.
- Trump has repeatedly argued that Afrikaners face violence and land seizures, amplified claims as 'genocide' in an Oval Office exchange with President Cyril Ramaphosa, and earlier this week urged South Africa's removal from the Group of 20.
- In a Nov. 7 Truth Social post, President Donald Trump called the summit 'a total disgrace' and said, `No US government official will attend as long as these human rights abuses continue`.
- The Department of International Relations and Cooperation said the 'white genocide' claim is discredited, and the South African government denied persecution claims, emphasizing dialogue.
- For 2026, Trump plans to host the G20 summit at his Doral resort, Miami, while the administration cut refugee admissions to 7,500 prioritizing white South Africans; earlier this year Secretary of State Marco Rubio boycotted a G20 meeting.
