Milei to Skip G-20 in Johannesburg, Taps Foreign Minister to Lead Argentina’s Delegation

The move is widely viewed as a signal of alignment with President Trump’s boycott.

Overview

  • Argentina’s government confirmed President Javier Milei will not attend the G-20 summit scheduled for November 22–23 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
  • Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno will head the Argentine delegation, joined by the country’s G-20 sherpa, former legislator Federico Pinedo.
  • The Casa Rosada said Milei’s nonattendance had been under consideration before President Trump canceled his trip.
  • Trump justified his boycott with allegations of human rights violations in South Africa and said he expects to host the 2026 G-20 in Miami.
  • Foreign diplomatic sources had urged Milei to appear in person to signal engagement with partners beyond the United States.
