Trump Bars South Africa From G20 Summit
President Trump said South Africa can't come to the G20 meeting in Miami in 2026.
He's upset because South Africa didn't talk about problems some white settlers are having, like killings and farms being taken.
Trump also said South Africa isn't stopping these things from happening.
He mentioned this on a social media site called X. The US didn't go to the last G20 meeting in South Africa.
South Africa's president said the decision is regrettable and that South Africa is a legitimate member of the G20.
He also said the US was not present at the summit but the G20 Presidency was handed over to a US official.
US President Donald Trump announced South Africa's exclusion from the 2026 G20 Summit in Miami.
The decision is due to South Africa's failure to address alleged human rights violations against white settlers.
Trump accused South Africa of allowing the killings of 'white people' and farm seizures.
The announcement was made on the social media platform X.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa termed the decision regrettable and emphasized South Africa's legitimate G20 membership.
