Trump says no US government official will attend G20 summit in South Africa
Executive Summary
President Donald Trump announced that no US government officials will attend the Group of 20 summit in South Africa later this month, citing human rights abuses against Afrikaners, including killings and illegal land confiscations, which the South African government denies. In a Truth Social post, Trump confirmed Vice President JD Vance would skip the event, following Secretary of State Marco Rubio's earlier boycott of a G20 ministers' meeting and Trump's recent policy prioritizing white Afrikaner refugees amid the lowest-ever US admissions cap. The move highlights escalating US-South Africa tensions over land reforms and Pretoria's stance on Israel's Gaza war, as the US prepares to host the G20 in 2026.
