Donald Trump has said the US will not attend the G20 summit in South Africa over widely discredited claims that white people are being persecuted in the country. The US president called it a 'total disgrace' that South Africa is hosting the meeting of world leaders. South Africa's foreign ministry responded by describing the US decision as 'regrettable.' Trump has consistently accused South Africa of wrongdoing towards its white minority, which includes Afrikaners, and stated that the US government will refrain from participation as long as these alleged human rights abuses persist. The South African government has countered Trump's statements, asserting that his claims do not align with reality and lack empirical support. As the G20 summit approaches, the White House has solidified its stance that no official delegation will attend.
