US Boycotts South Africa G20 Summit Over Afrikaner Rights Issues

The United States has announced its boycott of the G20 summit in South Africa, citing alleged human rights abuses against Afrikaners, the country’s white ethnic minority. President Trump emphasized claims of violence against Afrikaner farmers and illegal land confiscations, describing the situation as a “disgrace to humanity.” This decision follows an executive order halting U.S. foreign assistance to South Africa and the introduction of policies allowing Afrikaner refugees into the U.S. The boycott could exacerbate tensions between Washington and Pretoria, complicating global discussions on trade and economic recovery. This development underscores the growing geopolitical rift and highlights the intricate dynamics of human rights issues influencing international relations.
