Donald Trump.

America will not participate in the G-20 conference to be held in South Africa. President Donald Trump announced on Friday that no US government official will attend the G20 summit. He has described the decision to organize the summit in South Africa as completely insulting.

Trump cited alleged abuses against white African farmers, including violence, deaths and land confiscation, and insisted that concerns about their treatment were the reason for the US boycott. Earlier, there had been a heated debate on this issue between Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the White House.

After America’s boycott, Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh said that now that President Trump has announced that he will not attend the G20 summit to be held in South Africa on November 22-23 after a few days, we can be sure that the self-styled world leader will personally attend it. Sometime, somewhere…

America’s boycott may affect India also. Talks are going on between America and India regarding trade. Amidst the distance created by the imposition of tariffs on India by America, there was hope of a meeting between PM Narendra Modi and President Trump in this summit, which has now ended.

Trump administration has been making allegations for a long time

The Trump administration has long criticized the South African government for alleged harassment and attacks against minority white African farmers. When the US limited annual admissions of refugees to 7,500, the administration suggested that most of these places be allocated to white South Africans, citing discrimination and violence against them in their country. However, the South African government has rejected all such allegations.

Earlier this year, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio did not attend the G-20 Foreign Ministers’ Summit. Because it focused on issues like diversity, inclusivity and climate change.
