Trump Blocks South Africa from G20 Over Afrikaner Persecution

President Donald Trump isn’t playing games when it comes to human rights or global diplomacy.

In a fiery Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump confirmed what had been brewing for weeks the United States officially boycotted the G20 summit in Johannesburg, and South Africa is now banned from attending the next summit in Miami in 2026. Why? Because of the South African government’s alleged complicity in violent discrimination and systemic persecution of Afrikaners, the white minority population descended from Dutch, French, and German settlers.

“The Radical Left Media ignores it. The South African government denies it. But we know the truth horrific human rights abuses, land seizures, and brutal killings are happening,” Trump declared.

Trump directly accused South Africa’s ANC-led government of waging a state-backed campaign of racially targeted violence and farm expropriations. In particular, he pointed to the 2024 Expropriation Act, which allows the state to seize land without compensation a policy critics have called a Marxist-style attack on property rights.

This latest diplomatic blow-up has been years in the making.

Timeline of the Standoff:

• Weeks before the G20, the Trump administration made it clear: America would not attend a summit hosted by a country "actively violating civil liberties."

• When the summit opened on November 22, the U.S. sent only a junior diplomat, snubbing the usual presidential or cabinet-level presence.

• South Africa retaliated, refusing to hand over the ceremonial G20 gavel to a lower-ranking American a move Trump called “an insult from a government not worthy of Membership anywhere.”

• The handoff eventually took place in secret, behind closed doors in Pretoria, but the damage was done.

Trump responded by pulling the trigger:

• South Africa is barred from the 2026 G20 summit in Miami.

• All U.S. payments, subsidies, and aid to Pretoria are halted effective immediately.

• The 2026 refugee cap will prioritize Afrikaners fleeing racial discrimination, with over half of America’s 7,500 refugee slots earmarked for this purpose.

This marks the first time in G20 history that the United States has boycotted a summit and removed a member from future participation.

And it sends a loud, unambiguous message: under Trump, America will not tolerate race-based land theft, anti-white violence, or globalist double standards. While Biden’s State Department buried its head in the sand, Trump confronted President Cyril Ramaphosa head-on years ago in the Oval Office, warning him that failure to stop the violence would have consequences. Now, those consequences have arrived.

Let’s not forget:

• Since 1994, over 4,000 white South African farmers have been murdered, according to multiple human rights groups.

• The ANC’s land seizure policies mirror Mugabe’s failed Zimbabwe experiment, which decimated that country’s economy.

• The New York Times and other legacy outlets have repeatedly downplayed or denied these atrocities, proving once again how out of touch the media is with reality.

As always, Trump is doing what no other world leader has the courage to do: speak the truth and defend innocent people no matter their race against tyranny.
