Trump says US to boycott G20 as president leans into widely disputed claims of white genocide in host nation South Africa

The U.S. will boycott this month’s G20 summit in South Africa, Donald Trump announced on Friday, repeating his unfounded claims of an ongoing genocide against white people in the country.

“It is a total disgrace that the G20 will be held in South Africa,” Trump wrote on Truth Social of the upcoming summit, which begins on November 22. “Afrikaners (People who are descended from Dutch settlers, and also French and German immigrants) are being killed and slaughtered, and their land and farms are being illegally confiscated. No U.S. Government Official will attend as long as these Human Rights abuses continue.”
