Two National Guard members shot near White House
Investing.com -- President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that South Africa will not receive an invitation to the 2026 G20 summit scheduled to be held in Miami, Florida.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that the United States did not attend the recent G20 meeting in South Africa due to what he described as the South African government’s failure to "acknowledge or address the horrific Human Right Abuses endured by Afrikaners, and other descendants of Dutch, French, and German settlers."
Trump claimed South African authorities are "killing white people, and randomly allowing their farms to be taken from them," characterizing these alleged actions as "genocide."
The president also said South Africa "refused to hand off the G20 Presidency to a Senior Representative from our U.S. Embassy, who attended the Closing Ceremony."
As a result of these issues, Trump directed that South Africa would not be invited to the 2026 G20 summit in Miami. He further stated that the U.S. would "stop all payments and subsidies to them, effective immediately."
Trump also criticized media coverage of the situation, specifically mentioning the New York Times and what he called the "Fake News Media" for not reporting on these alleged abuses.
