Global leaders are converging in Johannesburg for the 2025 G20 Summit, but one absence is turning heads: The U.S. delegation. President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will skip the event amid escalating tensions with South Africa.
Trump recently accused South Africa’s government of committing genocide against its white minority—claims widely rejected by international observers. The controversy deepened this week as conflicting reports emerged about whether Washington would reverse its decision to abstain. 🕵️♂️
Analysts say the diplomatic rift could impact discussions on climate action and global trade reforms. Meanwhile, South African officials emphasize the summit’s focus remains on 'unity and equitable growth.' 💼
With youth-led protests planned outside the venue, this year’s G20 highlights how geopolitical friction continues to shape international cooperation. Stay tuned for updates! 📢
