00:00The diplomatic clash between the United States and South Africa is escalating after President

00:24Donald Trump announced that South Africa will not be invited to the 2026 G20 summit, which

00:31the United States is set to host in Miami.

00:35In a post on X, President Trump sharply criticized the Cyril Ramaphosa government, accusing South

00:41Africa of failing to address what he described as serious human rights violations.

00:47He went further, claiming, quote, they are killing white people and randomly allowing

00:53their farms to be taken from them, referring specifically to Afrikaners and descendants

00:58of early European settlers.

01:01These claims mirror past statements Trump has made alleging the existence of a so-called

01:06white genocide in the country.

01:09Claims that South African officials, international observers and researchers have repeatedly rejected

01:15as unfounded and lacking credible evidence.

01:19Trump also revealed what he says triggered the latest rift, South Africa's decision not

01:24to formally hand over the G20 presidency at the Johannesburg summit last weekend.

01:30According to the president, the South African government refused to pass the roll to an

01:35American representative who attended the ceremony.

01:38As a result, Trump says he has directed that South Africa be excluded from the 2026 gathering,

01:45and that all U.S. payments and subsidies to the country be halted immediately.

01:50But South Africa is pushing back strongly.

01:54President Cyril Ramaphosa called Trump's announcement regrettable, arguing that the United States chose

01:59not to attend the Johannesburg summit, and that the G20 handover did take place, but quietly,

02:06at the country's Department of International Relations, because U.S. officials weren't present

02:11at the main event.

02:12South African leaders say they've made repeated efforts to stabilize relations with Washington,

02:18only to face what they describe as misinformation and distortions about the country's domestic

02:24policies.

02:26The dispute adds a new layer of tension between the two nations at a time when global alliances

02:31are increasingly strained.

02:33As the United States prepares to lead the next G20 summit, Trump's announcement raises questions

02:38about how America will navigate its relationships and its rivalries on the world stage.
