United States President Donald Trump has sharply criticized South Africa just days before the scheduled G20 summit in Johannesburg. In a post shared on Truth Social, Trump alleged that the country is engaged in land confiscation and genocide, targeting white farmers and their families.

Trump questioned the appropriateness of U.S. participation in the G20 summit under such circumstances, asking, “How can the United States be expected to go to South Africa for the very important G20 meeting when land confiscation and genocide is the primary topic of conversation?”

He further claimed that South African authorities are “taking the land of white farmers, and then killing them and their families,” and accused mainstream media outlets of failing to report on what he described as a grave humanitarian crisis.

“The media refuses to report on this,” Trump asserted, implying a deliberate effort to suppress coverage of the alleged situation. His statements come at a critical moment as world leaders prepare to gather in Johannesburg to discuss global economic and political challenges.

The comments have added a layer of controversy to the G20 proceedings, potentially straining diplomatic relations between the U.S. and South Africa. Trump’s remarks are likely to dominate headlines as the summit approaches, prompting responses from international leaders and human rights organizations.

As President Trump continues to assert a strong stance on global affairs, his statements regarding South Africa reflect ongoing tensions surrounding land reform and human rights issues within the region. The impact of these claims on the upcoming G20 summit remains to be seen.
