"It's a complete disgrace." Trump said the US will not attend the G20 summit in South Africa because they are “killing Afrikaners” there

US President Donald Trump said that not a single US representative will take part in the G20 summit in South Africa.

“It is a complete disgrace that the G20 will be held in South Africa. Afrikaners (people descended from Dutch settlers, as well as French and German immigrants) are being killed and their lands and farms illegally seized,” Trump wrote on his social network Truth.

As long as South Africa continues to “violate human rights,” he stressed, not a single US representative will attend the summit.

“I look forward to hosting the G20 in 2026 in Miami, Florida!” - he added.

It was previously assumed that the American delegation to the G20 summit in South Africa would be led by Vice President J.D. Vance. Reuters sources confirmed that Vance is not going to the summit.

• In May 2025, Trump, receiving South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House, accused the South African authorities of genocide of the white population, including Afrikaners, or Boers - descendants of colonialists of Dutch origin. Trump, in particular, showed Ramaphosa a video about the oppression of whites in his country, which featured the song “Kill the Boer.” South African authorities deny accusations of persecution of Afrikaners.
• The G20 summit will take place on 21–22 November 2025 in Johannesburg. In May 2025, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the United States would not participate in the South African summit. However, then it became known that the US Vice President was still going to the summit in Johannesburg.
