Trump To Skip G20
In the beginning of November, US President Donald Trump announced that no US official would participate in the Summit, which is being hosted by South Africa as it prepares to hand over the annual Presidency to the US.
He cited the alleged persecution of white Afrikaner farmers in South Africa as the reason for his decision. This allegation has been denied and repeatedly by both the South African government and some of the leaders within the white community itself.
He received backlash from South African government and the ruling African National Congress, who labelled Trump as an "imperialist interference."
