Trump Says U.S. Will Boycott Johannesburg G20

The president cites unproven claims of violence against white farmers to justify halting U.S. participation.

Overview

  • Trump posted on Truth Social that no U.S. government representative will attend the summit in South Africa as long as alleged human-rights abuses continue.
  • He alleged killings of white farmers and illegal land seizures but provided no evidence for the claims.
  • South Africa has rejected the accusations, and experts dispute his earlier characterization of a 'genocide' against white farmers.
  • Trump had already canceled his own trip in September and said Vice President J.D. Vance would go, but U.S. representation is now uncertain.
  • The G20 is scheduled for November 22–23 in Johannesburg, and Trump says he looks forward to hosting the next summit in Miami, with past statements pointing to one of his golf resorts.
