South Africa is confronting a deepening diplomatic rift with the United States after President Donald Trump confirmed that Washington will boycott the G20 Summit in Johannesburg. The South African government sharply criticised the move, saying the U.S. has “run away” from engagement on global issues. Tensions escalated earlier this year when Trump alleged a “white genocide” was underway in South Africa—claims dismissed as false and bolstered by misleading images later traced to Congo. President Cyril Ramaphosa publicly challenged the narrative, calling it baseless and inflammatory. As the G20 convenes on African soil for the first time, Pretoria hopes to highlight Global South priorities.

You are a disgrace!! For spreading blatant misinformation, First Post News is what like a racist, hateful, and corrupted news outlet as well!
If anything, it is the ANC running away from issues. The ANC excels at blameshifting and always act surprised when confronted with hard facts.
I live near these sites where thousands upon thousands of white crosses have been installed for each man, woman, and child brutally and savagely murdered on their farms by racists blacks who follow the corrupted terrorist government regime called the ANC, and the EFF and the MK, who spread racial hatred across South Africa!! And here you lie to the World, saying that those videos were taken in the Congo,how stupid do you think the World is? When you can find the white burial crosses on Google maps in South Africa!! I regularly drive pas all the white crosses, each bearing the name of a murdered innocent farmer and South African citizen. Shame on you for lying to the public!!
THE SOUTH AFRICAN nation. Suffers. Electricity concern water problems. Unemployment. High crime rate over 20 000 post graduates sitting at home 6 millions ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS including another 150 FROM PALESTINE GOVERNMENT is riddled with corrupt indunas what IS important about the G20 summit. SOUTH Africa has nothing to offer ANY one IN this world.
THE USA HAS WARNED SA OVER G20 JOINT DECLARATION AT SUMMIT TAKING PLACE IN JOHANNESBURG – Can someone please inform Trump , that S.Africa is not and will never be one of the republics of the USA . And do not expect the Supreme Kangaroo Court of the USA to advise him about that , as they are the one's who are busy propping him up and encourage his delusion that , he is not only the president of the USA but also the KING OF THE WORLD .Now that he has finished destroying Gaza , he has his sights on S.Africa or will it be Venezuela in his pecking order , regarding the launch of his barbaric, genocidal attack on ala Gaza , on Venezuela and then S.Africa ?
DISGUSTED , BLACK S.AFRICAN !

Donald trump must not come we don't want him in SA
Did I hear if we don't engage with SA, it will be OUR loss? 😂🤣✌️
Nonsense Trump
after seeing the US destroyed by the usual suspects in places like Chicago, Detroit, LA etc now Trump does not want to deal with these apes anymore so good for him!
Not running away, just not wasting their time on a racist, useless government.
Anything without Trump is a Good thing.
Consider yourselves lucky that Trump won't be there. Who needs to listen to his incoherent rambling about the bullshit that flies around between his ears?
This is not about running away. South Africa needs to stop stealing the money from their people, stop the corruption, stop begging. and be honest and be held accountable after 30 years of betraying South African blacks. Go Trump, deal with Corrupt South Africa, and corrupt Nigeria.
Trump is a mad person a racist
Go forward don't show us Trump film 🎥 it is boring….
😮😮😮
US claims "white genocide" in SA. What about ethnic cleansing of native Indians in the US and US-led fake wars across the world and killing of millions under the garb of WMD, Drugs, etc etc to capture their natural resources to maintain US hegemony???
It's not a claim but a fact. One of the best kept secrets. Many old people have been tortured severely and the world needs to know
Mary Ann Trump on Donald Trump "Yes…He's an idiot, with zero common sense and no social skills but he IS my son, I just hope he never goes into politics, he'd be a disaster."
Baseless claims? Bullshit! I've been hearing about this for over 30 years. Ever since that criminal Mandela had taken office, these things have taken place. The punk who is calling this baseless claims is the poster boy for the dumb ass award campaign. You are a part of the deep State and need to be driven from this earth
As an American, I hope that Trump puts more tariffs on all of your asses. We do not need you!
Beware Ramaphosa is hypocritical
whats the point in the russian asset trump being at the G20 anywaY
Fair question to ask: How could you have all of these Top Notch Colleges and Universities over here in the United States 🇺🇸 but YOU have a a government and a U.S President that refuses to attend the Africa G20 Summit in order to have an open dialogue and discussion about World issues that has a negative impact on its Own people within their perspective countries?
This is new high as USA getting away with all international summit UN and G20
