U.S. will boycott G20 Summit in South Africa

U.S. will not attend G20 in South Africa

It serves as the main forum for international economic cooperation and meets to discuss pressing global issues.

President Donald Trump said Friday that no U.S. government officials would be attending the Group of 20 summit this year in South Africa, citing the country's treatment of white farmers.

Trump had announced he would not attend the annual summit for heads of state from the globe's leading and emerging economies. Vice President JD Vance had been scheduled to attend in Trump's place, but a person familiar with Vance's plans who was granted anonymity to talk about his schedule said Vance would no longer travel there for the summit.

"It is a total disgrace that the G20 will be held in South Africa," Trump wrote on Truth Social. He cited "abuses" of Afrikaners, including violence and death as well as confiscation of their land and farms.

South African violence and murder of White Farmers

South African Leader: No ‘Instructions’ on Arrests for Threats

Is South Africa’s commitment to free speech a noble stand or a dangerous oversight?

President Cyril Ramaphosa has doubled down on defending chants like “Kill the Boer! Kill the farmer!” as protected expression, even as critics, including U.S. President Donald Trump, sound the alarm over violence against white farmers.

According to the Daily Wire, this controversy pits constitutional freedoms against concerns of racial violence, with Ramaphosa rejecting foreign pressure to arrest those chanting inflammatory slogans, while Trump highlights brutal attacks on farmers, and local figures like Julius Malema stoke the flames with unapologetic rhetoric.

Let’s rewind to 2010, when a South African court first tackled this firestorm, ruling that the song “Kill the Boer, Kill the farmer!”—popularized by Malema, leader of the communist-leaning Economic Freedom Fighters—qualified as hate speech. That decision seemed to draw a line in the sand. But fast forward to 2022, and Judge Edwin Molahlehi flipped the script, declaring it protected speech.

By late March, Malema was at it again, leading a rally with crowds chanting the same violent refrain, alongside calls to “cut the throat of whiteness.”

Trump accepts 59 Refugees from South Africa

Liberal talking heads smeared the South African refugees as racists and 'bad guys'

Liberal activists and media personalities have long championed America's acceptance of refugees, especially from terrorist hotbeds like Afghanistan and Syria. They characterized criticism of this acceptance — particularly that born of concerns about national security threats — as racist, xenophobic, and un-Christian, and framed the Trump administration's targeting of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program earlier this year as immoral.

Support for bringing in persecuted people from afar suddenly crumbled Monday after the Trump administration welcomed 59 white Afrikaners at Dulles International Airport under the URAP.

MSNBC's "Deadline White House," for instance, was abuzz with condemnations, ascriptions of collective guilt, and racially charged commentary. (Sounds like a nut job who tries to post on this blog).

"Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white, but whether they are white or black makes no difference to me. White farmers are being brutally killed, and their land is being confiscated in South Africa," Trump said.
