US to Boycott G20 Summit in South Africa Over Discrimination Concerns

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump announced the US will boycott the upcoming G20 summit in South Africa, citing discredited claims of persecution and land confiscation of white farmers, which South Africa and international bodies have dismissed as unfounded. The decision follows Trump's repeated accusations of discrimination against South Africa's white minority and his administration's controversial refugee policies. The South African government criticized Trump's characterization of Afrikaners and the claims of genocide as unsupported by evidence.
