United States President Donald Trump departs at the White House to the Miami, Florida on November 5, 2025, in Washington DC.

President Donald Trump has declared that no US officials will attend the upcoming G20 summit in South Africa, citing alleged human rights abuses against the Afrikaner population. The boycott announcement came via Trump's Truth Social platform ahead of the November 22-23 meeting.

US President Donald Trump has announced a complete American boycott of the G20 summit scheduled to take place in South Africa later this month. In a statement posted on his Truth Social platform, Trump declared that no US government officials would participate in the international gathering, citing what he characterized as human rights violations against South Africa's Afrikaner community.

Human Rights Justification

Trump specifically referenced alleged violence and property confiscations targeting Afrikaners, descendants of Dutch, French, and German settlers in South Africa. The president described the situation as involving "killing and slaughter" along with "illegal confiscation" of farms and land, labeling the hosting of the G20 summit in South Africa as a "total disgrace" given these circumstances.

Future Summit Hosting Plans

The American president simultaneously signaled his intention to bring the G20 to the United States in 2026, expressing his anticipation for hosting the international gathering in Miami should he remain in office. This announcement positions the current boycott as part of a broader strategy regarding international summit participation and hosting.

Summit Context and Timing

The boycott decision comes as international attention focuses on the upcoming G20 meeting, scheduled for November 22-23 in South Africa as part of the country's rotating presidency of the world's largest economies. The move represents a significant diplomatic development ahead of the major international economic forum.
