President Donald Trump said Friday that no US officials will attend this month’s G20 summit in South Africa, calling the event there a “total disgrace” and citing the country’s treatment of white farmers. He vowed a boycott while what he called human rights abuses persist. The South African government has denied persecuting white South Africans. Reuters reported Vice President JD Vance is not traveling. The US is set to assume the G20 presidency after the November 22 to 23 gathering, and Trump plans to host next year’s summit at his Miami golf resort.
