Donald Trump has said the US will not attend the G20 summit in South Africa over widely discredited claims that white people are being persecuted in the country.

The US president said it was a “total disgrace” that South Africa is hosting the meeting, where leaders from the world’s largest economies will gather in Johannesburg later this month.

South Africa’s foreign ministry described the decision by the White House as “regrettable”.

None of South Africa’s political parties - including those that represent Afrikaners and the white community in general - have claimed that there is a genocide in South Africa.

    Funny because trump is the uncontested king of American white farmer abuse. I wonder how screwed farmers are going to be by snap ending. I’m guessing it’s going to be devastating. He’s kidnapping the farming hands, destroying their overseas markets with tariffs and scrapping food subsidies for Americans….lol who would have ever thought that one man could bankrupt and collapse the entire American food supply? Oh yeah and Vance is making a killing on bankrupt American farms with acre trader. Wonder how the American farmers are going to feel about their farms going to musk and theil’s South African Nazi friends at their expense?
