US will not invite South Africa to the 2026 G20 summit — Trump

US President Donald Trump has announced that South Africa will not be invited to the 2026 G20 summit, scheduled to be held in Miami, Florida. He made the statement on his Truth Social account.

Trump also said the United States is halting all payments and subsidies to South Africa, accusing Pretoria of failing to protect the rights of Afrikaners and allowing “killings of white people and arbitrary seizure of their farms.”

He claimed that during the closing ceremony of this year’s G20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa refused to hand over the chairmanship to a representative of the US embassy.

Trump noted that he had already ordered an end to all assistance to Pretoria in February, following the adoption of a South African law permitting the expropriation of unused land or land redistributed in the “public interest.” South African authorities argue the reform aims to correct injustices of the apartheid era.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has previously rejected Trump’s accusations of “genocide” against the white population.
