Trump says South Africa should not be in G20, to skip summit in Johannesburg
President Trump has repeatedly accused South Africa of confiscating land, although Pretoria denies the claims as inaccurate.
US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that South Africa should be removed from the G20 and that he will not attend the country's upcoming summit.
"South Africa shouldn't even be in the G's anymore, because what's happened there is bad," Trump told the American Business Forum in Miami.
"I'm not going ... I'm not going to represent our country there. It shouldn't be there," he added, referring to the G20 Johannesburg Summit planned for November 22-23.
Vice President J.D. Vance is scheduled to attend the meeting.
Trump has repeatedly accused South Africa of confiscating land and treating "certain classes of people very badly," calling it "a massive human rights violation".
Trump issued Executive Order 14204 in February, directing federal agencies to facilitate the resettlement of white South African Afrikaners, described as "victims of unjust racial discrimination," and to cut US aid to South Africa.
The South African government has rejected Trump's claims, saying they "rest on a premise that is factually inaccurate."
