A growing diplomatic rift between the United States and South Africa has forced Europe to intervene. The row escalated after US President Donald Trump announced he would bar South Africa from next year’s G20 Summit, which he plans to host in Miami. Europe, led by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, urges Washington to reverse the decision, stressing the importance of full G20 participation. South Africa condemned Trump’s "punitive measures," and defended its rightful place in the bloc, claiming support from other G20 members. The dispute stems from Trump’s false claims of “white genocide” in South Africa.
