南非总统府表示，法国总统马克龙去年发给拉马福萨的G7峰会邀请已被撤销，据称因美国威胁抵制。同一天，北京向南非提供零关税贸易优惠。法国否认受美方压力影响。
周四，南非总统府宣布，法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙在去年约翰内斯堡G20峰会上亲自发给西里尔·拉马福萨的G7峰会邀请已被撤销。总统发言人文森特·马格韦尼亚对国家广播公司SABC表示，普雷托利亚获悉“美国人威胁如果邀请南非就抵制G7”。
马格韦尼亚强调，尽管遭受这一冷遇，南非与法国的关系未受影响。拉马福萨本人淡化此事，周四对记者表示：“G7邀请并不意味着不被邀请就是被冷落或忽视。”
法国否认南非被排除在6月埃维昂举行的峰会之外系华盛顿施压所致，并称改邀肯尼亚是因为马克龙将访问内罗毕参加本年度非洲-法国峰会。同一天，北京向南非提供零关税贸易优惠。
