00:00The Brazilian President Luis Lula da Silva said on Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump has no right to
00:07bar South African President Cyril Ramaphosa from attending the G20 summit.
00:12Lula, furthermore, told Ramaphosa to attend the meeting.
00:17First, I told South African President Cyril Ramaphosa this week that the U.S. has no right to bar a
00:26founding member of the G20 from participating in the G20.
00:31Well, I told Ramaphosa that he must attend the G20. He must attend. He can't not go just because Trump
00:41said he wouldn't.
00:41He should go today. And he is a founding member.
00:58So, there is no justification for the world to spend 2.7 trillion dollars on armed conflicts when there are
01:06630 million people starving worldwide,
01:09when there are millions of vulnerable people crossing national borders, seeking a better life,
01:15when you have millions of people who don't have clean water to drink,
01:19when you have millions of people who don't have schools to attend.
01:23In other words, wouldn't it be better for the world leaders who control the arms industry
01:29rather than the identity politics of this world to think a little about peace instead of war?
01:40Trump has targeted South Africa and cut all financial assistance after accusing the government
01:44of allowing a white genocide against a white African minority group claiming they were being racially targeted and killed.
