The president played a video montage amplifying the claims of genocide.<\/p>\n<p>The US boycotted the G-20 meeting over the weekend in South Africa and sent a diplomatic note warning Pretoria against adopting a leaders\u2019 declaration. South Africa went ahead and approved the document shortly after the meeting began.<\/p>\n<p>The South Africans also rejected a US request for Marc Dillard, the charge\u0301 d\u2019affaires in South Africa, to attend the leaders\u2019 summit and receive the ceremonial G-20 handover, saying Ramaphosa would not engage with a lower-ranking official.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the handover took place quietly between diplomats at South Africa\u2019s foreign ministry in Pretoria on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa had been bracing for Trump to block it from the Miami summit, and officials there remain concerned that the US could seek to boot the country entirely from the group.<\/p>\n<p>Any change in membership would require consensus among G-20 nations, as was the case before the 2023 summit in India, when the African Union was admitted as a full member.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear what Trump\u2019s threat to cut off payments to South Africa will entail.
