President Trump announced he is barring South Africa from participating in the 2026 G20 summit and said the U.S. will stop all payments and subsidies to South Africa effective immediately, citing alleged "horrific human rights abuses." He tied the decision to South Africa’s refusal to hand over the G20 presidency gavel to a U.S. embassy representative amid a U.S. boycott, after the United States assumed the rotating G20 presidency.
