PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa launched a thinly-veiled attack against the bullying tendencies of US leader Donald Trump.

This comes as Trump recently warned the South African government not to attempt to adopt a consensus declaration at this weekend's G20 Summit that does not include the position of the US.

Ramaphosa, who on Thursday received the declaration from the G20 Social Summit in Boksburg, said that there should be no nation that bullies another, as all nations are equally important to the global agenda.

On Wednesday, media reports revealed that Trump, in a scathing letter, formally warned South Africa against pushing for a joint statement without his administration being represented.
