The United States President, Donald Trump, has barred South Africa from attending the 2026 G20 Summit billed to hold in Miami.
Trump, in a post shared on his X handle on Friday, declared that South African will not be receiving an invitation to the summit over its refusal to handover the G20 Presidency to a Senior Representative who represented him the 2025 edition held last week in Johannesburg, South Africa’s capital.
The US President had boycotted the event as part of his demonstration over alleged killing of white farmers in South Africa.
Recall that Trump had during a meeting with Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House in May accused the South African President of genocidal killings of white farmers largely known as Afrikaners.
The meeting had marked the beginning of the severed ties between the US and the African country.
While also citing the allegation in his post on X, Trump labelled South Africa a country unworthy of membership in anywhere.
He also threatened to stop all payments and subsidies going to South Africa immediately.
The statement read; “The United States did not attend the G20 in South Africa, because the South African Government refuses to acknowledge or address the horrific Human Right Abuses endured by Afrikaners, and other descendants of Dutch, French, and German settlers.
“To put it more bluntly, they are killing white people and randomly allowing their farms to be taken from them.
“Perhaps, worst of all, the soon to be out of business New York Times and the Fake News Media won’t issue a word against this genocide.
“That’s why all the Liars and Pretenders of the Radical Left Media are going out of business!
“At the conclusion of the G20, South Africa refused to hand off the G20 Presidency to a Senior Representative from our U.S. Embassy, who attended the Closing Ceremony.
“Therefore, at my direction, South Africa will NOT be receiving an invitation to the 2026 G20, which will be hosted in the Great City of Miami, Florida next year.
“South Africa has demonstrated to the World they are not a country worthy of Membership anywhere, and we are going to stop all payments and subsidies to them, effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
