US Pulls Out of G20 Meet as Ties with South Africa Plunge | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, says he will not attend the next G20 Foreign Minister's meet, which will be held in South Africa later this month. Rubio says that South Africa is doing "very bad things". It's an extension of the attack recently launched by US President Donald Trump. Trump believes that a new land expropriation law in South Africa will allow the nation to seize land from the white minority in the country. South Africa's President, Cyril Ramaphosa, insists that no land has been seized yet, and the law will only be used in exceptional circumstances. But Trump is being egged on by Elon Musk. The world's richest man was born in Apartheid South Africa, and is very concerned about the new land law, calling it "openly racist".

    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst The US administration lives in a constant crisis mood in these first weeks of 2025. Among many amazing things coming from this is that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will not attend the upcoming G20 Foreign Ministers' meeting in Johannesburg citing South Africa's "anti-American agenda" as the reason for boycotting, concerns raised over South Africa's land expropriation policies and G20 focus on "solidarity, equality, & sustainability”. The issue goes even to threatening to cut foreign aid to South Africa. This diplomatic rift comes just months after Presidents Biden and Ramaphosa pledged to deepen bilateral ties. So what is the future of US-South Africa relations and its impact on global diplomacy. Lot of pundits have spoken about this, some supporting one side some the other side, all being very reasonable! SouthAfrica reaction (remember it is a BRIC country) is normal (let Americans do whatever they want but please don’t interfere with our country) and many are worried that the fight is not just about SA, but about BRICs countries, who controls where and what, where US shows the carrot and the stick , thinking we are living in a past that doesn’t exist anymore, as there is no unipolar or bipolar sides now, but a multipolar order. The big picture is now US and China, and the rest is as usual, control and power games. What are your thoughts on this development? How might it affect international cooperation and the upcoming G20 summit?
