Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that no U.S. government official will attend the 2025 G20 Summit in Johannesburg, calling the event a “total disgrace.” He criticized South Africa for alleged human rights abuses against white farmers and what he described as illegal land seizures, claiming the country’s policies are unjust and incompatible with U.S. interests. Trump also stated that the United States will instead host the next G20 summit in 2026 in Miami. The move highlights his ongoing influence in U.S. foreign policy debates and underscores tensions with South Africa ahead of the global economic forum. (PC: AP)
