A G20 poster calling for Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability adorns the site where the foreign ministers meeting of the G20 will take place without The U.S. Secretary of State Feb. 20 and 21, 2025, in Johannesburg, South Africa, February 19, 2025
THE G20 summit in South Africa began today with the United States snubbing the host country, whose recent land reform law has offended Donald Trump.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be conspicuous by his absence at a gathering attended by the foreign ministers of China, Russia and the EU.
Mr Rubio denounced the summit’s theme of “solidarity, equality and sustainability” — “in other words DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion, affirmative action policies the US government has declared war on] and climate change” (which Mr Trump calls a “scam.”)
The plan is to stigmatise and destabilise South Africa in preparation for breaking it up while creating a confused and highly racialised atmosphere around immigration in the US to aid in denying rights to non-white refugees, explains EMILE SCHEPERS
