South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has criticized US President Donald Trump's decision to exclude South Africa from the 2026 G20 Summit in Miami. The diplomatic tension has intensified after Trump cited alleged human rights abuses against white farmers in South Africa as justification, while also announcing the cessation of financial aid to the country. Ramaphosa defended South Africa's G20 membership and called for continued multilateral cooperation among member nations, describing Trump's actions as based on misinformation about his country.
