00:00Trump pulls U.S. from G20 over discrimination against white farmers in South Africa.
00:06President Donald Trump announced Friday that no U.S. government officials would attend this year's Group of 20 summit in South Africa, citing the country's treatment of white farmers.
00:15According to the Associated Press, Trump had already said he would skip the annual meeting of heads of state from the world's largest economies.
00:23Vice President J.D. Vance had been scheduled to attend in his place, but a source familiar with Vance's plans said he will no longer travel to the summit.
00:31It is a total disgrace that the G20 will be held in South Africa, Trump wrote on his social media site, citing abuses of Afrikaners, including violence, death, and confiscation of land and farms.
00:44The Trump administration has long accused South Africa of allowing minority white Afrikaner farmers to be persecuted.
00:50As it limited U.S. refugee admissions to 7,500 this year, the administration indicated most would be white South Africans claiming to face discrimination and violence.
01:02South African officials have disputed the claims.
01:05President Cyril Ramaphosa said he told Trump the allegations about Afrikaner discrimination are completely false,
01:12noting that white residents generally enjoy a higher standard of living than black South Africans, more than three decades after apartheid.
01:20Despite this, the administration has continued its criticism.
01:25Earlier this week, Trump said in a speech in Miami that South Africa should be expelled from the G20.
01:31Earlier this year, Secretary of State Marco Rubio also boycotted a G20 meeting for foreign ministers
01:36over the agenda's focus on diversity, inclusion, and climate change efforts.
