💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump will not attend the G20 Summit in South Africa, sending Vice-President J.D. Vance instead. Trump cited South Africa’s "very bad policies" as the reason for his absence, likely referring to the country’s land reform initiatives and international legal stances. Separately, Trump announced that the U.S. will host the 2026 G20 Summit at his resort, Trump National Doral, in Florida.
