The South African presidency confirmed receiving information indicating that US pressure led France to rescind the invitation. This decision has sparked controversy and discussions about international diplomacy and alliances.
The President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, downplayed the reported snub but acknowledged the developments publicly.
