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.

Yeah, seriously. What's next, a general pardon for Klansmen and church-bombers?

He's just repeating some shite that Musk told him.

Yeah that’s why he’s not doing the fucking job he’s supposed to do. It’s the . . . checks notes . . . Ah! Here it is. The white farmer . . abuses. Yes. Yes, a topic near and dear to his heart as everyone knows.
No it’s totally not that his blood has decided to just stop at his ankles and tell his circulation to fuck off, nor his fear of the AF1 stairs (or all stairs) nor the fact that he’s potentially days away from being exposed as a human trafficker of young girls for rape, nor the fact that his ischemic strokes keep happening as a lifetime’s supply of animal fat disintegrates in his brain, nor his significantly worsening dementia that leaves everything open to complete disaster at each and every moment he’s not occupied with something stupid by himself.
No. Not at all. Absolutely he won’t be attending because of the . . the thing that we mentioned before. The *checks* . . white farmer abusing. Obviously that’s terrible. And he won’t stand for it. Or whatever.

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?

I thought G20 was for civilised 1st world countries so USA shouldn't be invited anyway

He did stop minting the penny, which I think was advantageous to the US. Granted, his stated rationale was not actually why you'd want to do it, but...

Did those idiots let him watch TV again? They should fix the TV to a real news channel, and just stick a paper banderole to the TV with the fox logo...
