President Donald Trump said on Wednesday South Africa would not receive an invitation to participate in next years G20 summit in Florida, after the US boycotted the leaders summit in Johannesburg last week.
The Group of 20 leaders adopted a declaration on Saturday in addressing the climate crisis and other global challenges despite US objections, prompting the White House to accuse South Africa of weaponising its leadership of the group this year.
At the conclusion of the G20, South Africa refused to hand off the G20 presidency to a senior representative from our US Embassy, who attended the closing ceremony, Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
