President Trump ordered a U.S. boycott of the Nov. 22–23 G20 in Johannesburg, citing alleged government‑sponsored discrimination against Afrikaners and farm‑attack concerns, leaving no accredited American delegation and prompting sharp diplomatic exchanges with South Africa. South Africa pressed ahead, adopting a leaders’ declaration without U.S. input, refused to accept a junior embassy official to receive the gavel, and said the presidential handover will instead take place Monday between officials of comparable rank while the White House insists it will not join official talks.
