United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has refused to attend the G20 summit in South Africa this year.
The G20 summit is scheduled to kick off in Johannesburg on 22 November.
“We are a sovereign and democratic country committed to human dignity, equality and rights, championing non-racialism and non-sexism while placing our constitution and the rule of law at the forefront.”“This law is similar to the Eminent domain laws. Solidarity / Ubuntu promotes collective problem-solving. Our G20 Presidency is not confined to just climate change but also equitable treatment for nations of the Global South, ensuring an equal global system for all.
“So that’s under investigation right now. We’ll make a determination, and until such time as we find out what South Africa is doing — they’re taking away land and confiscating land, and actually, they’re doing things that are perhaps far worse than that.”However, Ramaphosa coolly responded to Trump’s accusations, denying that any unjust confiscation of land had occurred.
