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 abuses against white farmers while halting all U.S. payments and subsidies immediately.

  • 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.
