Trump boycotts G20 summit: South Africa in the sights of serious allegations!
Ahead of the G20 summit scheduled to take place in Johannesburg, South Africa on November 22 and 23, 2025, US President Donald Trump announced that no United States government officials would attend. The reason for this is serious “human rights violations” in South Africa. Trump has already called the summit an "absolute disgrace" and repeated unsubstantiated claims of systematic violence against white South Africans, which he described as "genocide."
Trump, who has repeatedly criticized the South African government since returning to the White House in January 2025, called for a reduction in refugee admissions with a focus on white South Africans and other victims of discrimination in that country. The South African government responded to these announcements with sharp criticism and rejected allegations that white South Africans were being persecuted.
Reactions and political implications
Trump's announcement came shortly after he said in September that Vice President JD Vance would represent him at the summit. It is unclear whether Vance will actually take part. Trump had previously made unsubstantiated allegations against South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and provided no evidence to support his allegations.
Experts and observers of the political situation in South Africa contradict Trump and emphasize the unreliability of his sources of information. These differences could not only strain diplomatic relations between the USA and South Africa, but also have an impact on the fortunes of anti-racist movements and the treatment of minorities in the country.
The G20 summit and Trump's future plans
Trump also announced plans for the next G20 summit, scheduled for December 2026 in Miami, Florida, at one of his golf resorts in Doral. He emphasized that this event would not be profitable in order to refute any accusations of self-interest. Doral is considered a convenient location near an airport and the “best location” for the summit.
As the summit in South Africa approaches, it remains to be seen how political tensions will develop and what impact Trump's decisions will have on international dialogue.
