The United States will not participate in the upcoming G20 summit in South Africa either at the level of the heads of diplomacy or at the president’s level, said Secretary of State Marco Rubio. In his words, this is largely due to the contradictions between the United States and South Africa. The White House does not agree with the agenda formed by South Africa – it does not reflect the priorities of the US Presidential Administration, Rubio.rubio added in early February that he would not go to the G20 summit in Johannesburg. “South Africa does very bad things. Exprusts private property. Uses the G20 to promote “solidarity, equality and stability.” In other words: diversity, justice, inclusive () and climate change. My work is to promote the national interests of America, and not to spend money on taxpayers or to illuminate with anti -Americanism, ”he wrote. In February, the head of the US Ministry of Finance Scott Immorta did not participate in the regular meeting of the Ministers of Finance and the leaders of the central banks of the G20 countries in Cape Tang. Reuters noted that this decision is “extremely unusual”, since the United States often heads the G20 agreements on financial and monetary policy issues. Immentine explained his absence with “obligations in Washington” and said that he would be replaced by a high -ranking official. In mid -May, The Washington Post found that the United States suspended the G20 summit in South Africa. Earlier, Trump repeatedly accused South Africa of the genocide of white citizens and promised to miss the summit if “the situation is not settled.” Many officials of the Trump administration also do not support the G20 position on climate change and LGBT. The South Africa authorities reject the charges of “white genocide”. The Great Twenty summit will be held on November 21–22, 2025 in Johannesburg. C May 22, President South Africa Sirila Ramafosa was planned to be a working visit to the United States, during which he should meet Donald Trump. According to Bloomberg, Ramafoses advisers are afraid that he “risks getting a reprimand like Vladimir Zelensky in an oval office.” (Tagstotranslate) News
