Summary:
In an article published by “The Hindu” on November 8, 2025, it is reported that President Donald Trump has stated that no U.S. government officials will attend the G20 summit in South Africa due to the country’s alleged mistreatment of white farmers (Afrikaners). Trump claims Afrikaners are facing violence, death, and land confiscation. The U.S. has indicated that most refugees admitted to the U.S. will be white South Africans. The South African government, led by President Cyril Ramaphosa, denies these allegations, stating that white people generally have a higher standard of living than Black residents. Trump has previously called for South Africa’s expulsion from the G20 and Secretary of State Marco Rubio boycotted a previous G-20 meeting due to its focus on diversity, inclusion, and climate change.

Trump Administration to Boycott G20 Summit Over South Africa’s Treatment of White Farmers
Washington, D.C. – The Trump administration announced on Friday that no U.S. government officials will attend the upcoming G20 summit in South Africa, citing concerns over the alleged mistreatment of white farmers, also known as Afrikaners.
President Trump, through a post on his social media site, stated that it was a “total disgrace” that the G20 would be held in South Africa, claiming that Afrikaners are facing “abuses,” including violence, death, and the confiscation of their land and farms.
“It is a total disgrace that the G20 will be held in South Africa,” Mr. Trump said on his social media site. In his post, Mr. Trump cited “abuses” of Afrikaners, including violence and death as well as confiscation of their land and farms.
While President Trump had previously announced he would not attend the summit, the decision to pull Vice President J.D. Vance, who was slated to attend in his place, marks a significant escalation in the administration’s criticism of South Africa.
The Trump administration has long accused the South African government of allowing minority white Afrikaner farmers to be persecuted and attacked. As it restricted the number of refugees admitted annually to the U.S. to 7,500, the administration indicated that most will be white South Africans who it claimed faced discrimination and violence at home.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has refuted these claims, calling them “completely false.” He maintains that white people in South Africa generally have a significantly higher standard of living than Black residents, despite the end of apartheid more than three decades ago. The South African government has expressed surprise at the accusations, considering that white people generally have a much higher standard of living than its Black residents, more than three decades after the end of the apartheid system of white minority rule.
This latest move follows previous actions by the Trump administration, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s boycott of a G20 meeting earlier this year due to its focus on diversity, inclusion, and climate change. The President had previously called for South Africa’s expulsion from the G20 during an economic speech in Miami.
The G20 summit is scheduled to take place later this year in South Africa. The U.S. absence is expected to raise questions about the future of U.S.-South Africa relations and potentially disrupt discussions on key global economic issues.
