Trump says South Africa is not invited to next year’s G20

Trump cited South Africa’s refusal to hand over the G20 presidency and alleged human-rights abuses against Afrikaners while halting U.S. payments and barring the country from the 2026 summit.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced he is barring South Africa from the 2026 G20 in Miami and will stop all U.S. payments and subsidies, citing treatment of a U.S. representative.
  • South Africa rejected the traditional handover to a senior U.S. Embassy representative at the Johannesburg summit, and the U.S. did not send a delegation, citing Afrikaner persecution reports.
  • In a Truth Social post, President Donald Trump linked the U.S. absence from the Johannesburg meeting to reports of violence against white farmers and accused farmland seizures, writing `they are killing white people`.
  • The freeze on payments and subsidies takes effect immediately, signaling a potential rupture in U.S.–South Africa relations as the U.S. took over the rotating G20 presidency on Monday.
  • Washington left the Johannesburg declaration unsigned and opposed South Africa's climate change agenda, while South Africa rejected the violence claims as baseless.
