He further stated, \u201cThe African Union is a member of the G-20, and so is South Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cThat\u2019s why I urge that South Africa be represented at the G-20 summit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite being a member of the G-20, South Africa was notably left off the invitation list announced by Trump last year.<\/p>\n<p>The US president defended his stance by reiterating claims that South Africa is perpetrating genocide against its white population.<\/p>\n<p>In response, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa\u2019s office strongly dismissed these allegations, labeling them as \u201cmisinformation and distortions about our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a controversial move, Trump invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the G-20, which has faced backlash from other member nations.<\/p>\n<p>Putin is expected to travel to China for an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit next month, but reports from Bloomberg News suggest he may skip the G-20 meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Trump administration, the number of refugees allowed into the US has significantly decreased, with a particular focus on white South Africans, marking a stark contrast to previous policies that welcomed many fleeing violence and persecution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-2271372543\" class=\"wedod-after-content wedod-entity-placement\" role=\"region\"
