U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he will not attend the upcoming G20 summit scheduled to be held in South Africa later this year in a notable diplomatic decision that underscores the strained relations between the United States and South Africa.
Instead, he revealed that he plans to delegate Vice President JD Vance to represent the U.S. at the international gathering of world leaders.
During a brief exchange with reporters in the Oval Office, Trump explained his absence by citing a bad relationship with South Africa, as per report by Xinhua New Media.
