US to fully skip G20 summit, says Trump

{ SOUTH AFRICA HOST } TRUMP CLAIMS ‘WHITE GENOCIDE’

- Agence France-Presse

President Donald Trump said no US officials would attend the G20 summit in South Africa, reviving debunked claims of white Afrikaners being systematically “killed and slaughtered” in the country.

Trump had announced in September that Vice President JD Vance would travel to the meeting later this month instead of him, but has now said that US representatives will skip it entirely.

“Ttis a total disgrace that the G20 will be held in South Africa,” Trump said on his Truth Social network.

“No US Government Official will attend as long as these Human Rights abuses continue.”

Trump said that Afrikaners — descendants of the first European settlers of South Africa Afrikaners — “are being killed and slaughtered, and their land and farms are being illegally confiscated.”
