G-20 2025 News: G-20 conference concluded in South Africa. The next conference is going to be held in Miami city of America. After being awarded the hosting rights, US President Donald Trump announced that South Africa will not be invited to the 2026 G20 conference.
Washington: Donald Trump is seen in action after being re-elected as the US President. After ending the long war between Israel and Gaza, efforts are being made to stop the war that has been going on between Ukraine and Russia for more than three and a half years. For this, a policy of ‘Same, Price, Punishment and Discrimination’ has been adopted against Russia through tariffs. His trade enmity with China is not hidden. After waging a tariff war with countries around the world, it has now opened a front against another country. This country is considered very close to India. Trump has clearly announced that South Africa will not be invited to the G20 summit to be held in 2026.
US President Donald, while posting a scathing post on social media Truth Social, wrote, ‘The current government of South Africa is completely ignoring the human rights violations being committed against white Africans and people of European origin. There, targeted killings of white farmers are taking place, their lands are being arbitrarily taken over. Such a country cannot be given a place on a platform like G20.
Direct clash with South Africa
Donald Trump did not stop here. He claimed that at the closing ceremony of the recently concluded G20 summit in Johannesburg, the South African government had flatly refused to hand over the G20 presidency to a US Embassy official. Trump called it an insult to America and announced to stop all American aid and subsidies to South Africa with immediate effect.
Where is G20 going to be held?
Let us tell you that next year (2026) the G20 summit is scheduled to be hosted by America in Miami, Florida. In such a situation, this decision of Trump can create an earthquake in international diplomacy, because South Africa is a permanent member of G20. The main theme of this conference was ‘Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability’. Its theme was based on the African philosophy ‘Ubuntu’ (I am because we are). It focuses on collective action on global inequalities, climate change and economic sustainability.
South African government response
The South African government has not yet given any official response to Trump’s allegations, but the opposition parties there and some organizations of the white community have welcomed Trump’s statement. At the same time, sources are saying that this tough stance of Trump is also a sign of his special friendship towards India. South Africa is a member of BRICS and in recent years has had differing opinions on some issues within India-BRICS. Trump is already considered close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and ‘friendship’ between the two leaders has been mentioned several times.
