US to Boycott G20 Summit in South Africa Over Farmer Treatment Claims

The United States will boycott this year's Group of 20 summit in South Africa, President Donald Trump announced Friday, calling the host nation's inclusion a "total disgrace." Citing alleged violence and land confiscation targeting white Afrikaner farmers, Trump confirmed that no US officials, including Vice President JD Vance who was scheduled to attend, will be present. The move marks a significant diplomatic rift, with the US withdrawing from a key global economic forum over domestic policies of the host country.
