U.S. Officials to Boycott G20 Summit, Trump Withdraws Delegation
Trump says U.
President Donald Trump announced that no U.S. government officials will attend the 2025 G20 Summit in South Africa, citing alleged human rights abuses against Afrikaners. This marks a full diplomatic boycott, with prior plans for Vice President J.D. Vance scrapped.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa strongly denied the accusations. The absence of U.S. officials casts uncertainty on major economic negotiations and may reduce the weight of Western engagement at the summit.
