Trump Excludes South Africa from 2026 G20, Cuts Financial Aid

US President Donald Trump has announced that South Africa will be excluded from the 2026 G20 summit in Miami and that all US financial assistance to the country will be halted. The decision follows a diplomatic row after South Africa refused to hand over the G20 presidency gavel to a US representative. This marks a significant shift in US-South Africa relations, which have been strained in recent years.
