SA savours 'revenge' for US leader's G20 boycott

The Citizen

November 24, 2025

South Africa has returned the snub that US President Donald Trump, who boycotted the G20 summit, gave to the country - it would downgrade the handover to a low-key ceremony involving a low-level official.

Instead of handing over the G20 presidency for 2026 directly to Trump, Pretoria has decided to downgrade the handover in apparent revenge for Trump not honouring the G20 summit by attending. This decision came after Trump chose not to attend and receive the baton from Ramaphosa as the outgoing G20 president.

In return for Trump's decision to send the chargé d'affaires at the US embassy in Pretoria to receive the symbolic seat on behalf of Trump, South Africa would have an official of unstated rank meet the US diplomat at the department of international relations and cooperation offices in Pretoria this week and hand over the position to the diplomat.
