Trump to Skip G20 Summit in South Africa

US President Donald Trump has announced he will skip the G20 summit in South Africa, citing unsubstantiated claims of land confiscation and genocide against white farmers. Trump's remarks have been met with criticism from South African officials, who maintain that the country's Constitution protects the rights of all citizens equally. Tensions between the US and South Africa have escalated during Trump's presidency, with previous boycotts of G20 meetings by US officials like Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Trump's claims have been echoed by Republican Congressman Troy Nehls, who introduced a bill to offer refugee status to Afrikaners in the US. However, South African leaders, including DA leader John Steenhuisen, have refuted Trump's allegations, asserting there is no evidence of genocide or widespread land expropriation. The controversy highlights ongoing diplomatic challenges as South Africa holds the G20 presidency.
