US President Donald Trump announced on November 26, 2025, that South Africa will not be invited to the 2026 G20 summit in Miami, Florida, citing a refusal to hand over the presidency during the recent Johannesburg summit. South Africa's government described the move as punitive and based on misinformation. Other G20 members, including Germany, have expressed support for South Africa's continued participation.
President Donald Trump announced that no US government representative will attend the G20 summit scheduled for November 22 and 23 in South Africa. The decision stems from tensions with the South African government over a land expropriation law and Pretoria's stance on Israel's actions in Gaza. As a result, the US will be absent from a key forum for global economic coordination.
