U.S. President Donald Trump announced that no officials from the country will attend the G20 summit scheduled to be held in South Africa later this month. "The G20 meeting in South Africa is a disgrace," Trump posted on social media, claiming that Africans "are being killed and slaughtered, their land and farms are being illegally seized." This move signifies an escalation of conflict by Trump due to his claims of unfair treatment of white South Africans in the country. Trump announced in September that he himself will not attend the G-20 summit in South Africa, but Vice President JD Vance will go instead. After the president's post, a source familiar with the vice president's arrangements confirmed that Vance also does not plan to attend.
