The United States has announced its decision to boycott the upcoming G20 summit in South Africa, according to a statement from former President Donald Trump. The summit, which is scheduled to take place in Johannesburg next month, is a gathering of the world’s twenty largest economies to discuss global economic issues.
In a tweet, Trump criticized South Africa for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, accusing the country of mismanagement and incompetence. He stated that the United States would not participate in the summit as a form of protest against South Africa’s government.
South Africa’s President, Cyril Ramaphosa, has expressed disappointment at the US’s decision to boycott the summit. He emphasized the importance of international cooperation, especially during a time of global crisis.
The G20 summit brings together leaders from around the world to discuss economic policies, sustainable development, and other global issues. The absence of the United States, one of the largest economies in the world, is likely to have an impact on the discussions and outcomes of the summit.
The decision to boycott the G20 summit reflects the strained relations between the United States and South Africa and raises concerns about the future of international cooperation on economic issues.
