The United States has announced it will boycott the upcoming G20 summit in South Africa, citing concerns over the treatment of white farmers. Former President Donald Trump declared that no US government officials will attend the summit, which is scheduled to take place in Johannesburg on November 22–23, 2025.
Trump alleges that Afrikaners, South African whites descended from Dutch, French, and German ancestors, are being:
- Killed
- Slaughtered
- Having their land and farms confiscated illegally
These claims have been widely disputed and described as discredited by various international observers.
Vice President JD Vance, who was expected to represent the US at the summit, confirmed that he will no longer attend. This decision has sparked significant political tension between the United States and South Africa ahead of the global event.
South Africa is hosting the G20 summit, a major platform for economic discussion and international cooperation among the world’s leading economies. The controversy highlights ongoing debates regarding:
- Land reform
- Social justice issues within South Africa
It also raises questions about the diplomatic relations between Washington and Pretoria.
The boycott by the US could impact discussions and collaboration during the summit, potentially overshadowing other global topics on the agenda. As the world watches closely, South Africa continues preparations to host the influential summit amid rising political scrutiny.
