Trump excludes SA from G20 Summit

Posted by Europe correspondent on

Brussels 28.11.2025 German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expresses regret over US President Trump’s intention to exclude South Africa from next year’s G20 summit, because the gathering is one of the most significant multilateral formats.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on November 28 that all G20 members, including South Africa, should be invited to the next year’s summit in Florida.

Speaking at a press conference in Berlin, Merz criticized the U.S. administration’s absence from last weekend’s G20 Summit in Johannesburg, and subsequent Trump’s announcement that South Africa would not be invited the Summit next year, taking place in Florida.

“I regretted that the American government was not present at the G20 meeting in Johannesburg last weekend,” Merz said. “The US administration is needlessly giving up influence, including in a part of the world that is becoming increasingly important.”

The conservative leader said he would raise the issue in upcoming phone calls and future meetings with Trump.

“I will try to convince the US president that it would be good to invite all G20 members to the US for next year’s summit, as this is one of the most important multilateral formats we still have in the world,” Merz said.

He emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of international forums like the G20 and G7.

“In my view, the G7 and G20 are formats that should not be made smaller than they are without good reason. They are important,” he said. “I will, of course, accept the US president’s invitation. In the meantime, we will try to convince him to invite the South African government as well.”

Trump said that South Africa will not be invited to the 2026 G20 summit in Florida, citing the country’s refusal to hand off the G20 presidency to a US Embassy representative.

The announcement comes after US officials largely boycotted this year’s G-20 summit in Johannesburg, which concluded on Sunday, over the same allegations Trump leveled against the South African government on Truth Social.

“At the conclusion of the G20, South Africa refused to hand off the G20 Presidency to a Senior Representative from our U.S. Embassy, who attended the Closing Ceremony,” Trump wrote.

“Therefore, at my direction, South Africa will NOT be receiving an invitation to the 2026 G20, which will be hosted in the Great City of Miami, Florida next year,” the president continued. “South Africa has demonstrated to the World they are not a country worthy of Membership anywhere, and we are going to stop all payments and subsidies to them, effective immediately.”

The G20 Doral Summit will be the twenty-first meeting of the Group of Twenty (G20), a meeting of heads of state and government planned from 14 to 15 December 2026. It will be held at the Trump National Doral Miami, a property of the host, U.S. president Donald Trump, in Doral, Florida.

President Donald J. Trump showed the world the shocking treatment of white farmers in South Africa — including with a video montage that highlighted the discrimination and violence targeted at the innocent minority victims, the White House statement reads.

President Trump was exactly right.

“We left because of the attacks. You can’t stay on a farm as a white person in South Africa. You know you’ll be killed,” said one South African refugee.

“The political rally was winding down when the brash leader of a leftist South African party grabbed the microphone and began to stomp and chant. Thousands of supporters joined in, and when he reached the climax, they pointed their fingers in the air like guns. ‘Kill the Boer!’ Julius Malema chanted, referring to white farmers. The crowd in a stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday roared back in approval.”
