US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that South Africa’s anti -America stance is taking this decision.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday that he would not participate in the G-20 summit to be held in South Africa on 20-21 February. Marco Rubio says that he is taking this decision due to the land acquisition policies of the South Africa government and the anti -US attitude.
Rubio said in X post-
I will not attend the G-20 summit to be held in Johannesburg. South Africa is doing very bad things. Private property is occupying. G-20 is being used to promote solidarity, equality and stability. In other words, it is Dei and Climate Change Program.
He said that my job is to promote the national interests of America and not wasting the money of tax payers and promoting the anti -America spirit.
South Africa is presiding over the G-20 from December 2024 to November 2025. For this reason, this year will host the G20 summit in Johannesburg on 20-21 February this year.
What is Dei program
Variety, equality and inclusive program (DEI) program in the US was run to end discrimination. The purpose of this program was to promote opportunities for women, blacks, minorities, LGBTQ+ and other low -representing groups. Trump said that this program discriminates against the white American people.
At the same time, Trump has called climate change a cheating. He says that China is spreading unworthy pollution, the US will not harm its industries.
Discrimination with Black people in the US has been a matter of long dispute. However, some people allege that the rights of white people are ignored under the guise of this issue.
Trump has been criticized by South Africa
US President Donald Trump also recently criticized the Land Acquisition Act of the Government of South Africa from side to side. In fact, Trump had alleged that the South Africa government is forcibly occupying the land of the people and harassing some selected people there.
Trump wrote on social media trouses-
The government of South Africa is seizing people’s land and behaving very badly with some classes. America will not tolerate it, we will take action. I will stop all the future funding to South Africa until the investigation of the case is completed!
In South Africa, apartheid and land acquisition have been a long disputed issue.
South Africa said- land will not be confiscated arbitrarily
According to Reuters, South African President Cyril Ramfosa has recently passed a land acquisition bill. There is a provision in this bill that the government can occupy the land of people without any compensation in the public interest.
At the same time, the South African government said that it is not seizing the land arbitrarily, but will be talked to the land owners first. Land reform and apartheid in South Africa have been a long -disputed issue.
South African President Cyril Ramfosa says that farmers will be talked about before land acquisition, land acquisition will not be arbitrary.
Musk has also warned South Africa
According to Reuters, the US had given assistance of about Rs 3.82 thousand crore to South Africa in 2023 for health programs, economic development and security cooperation. After Trump’s decision, the funding to South Africa may now stop soon and the US government can also investigate the case of human rights violations.
Donald Trump’s associate and South African billionaire Ilyon Musk has warned that this policy of Ramposa may have the same effect as the land in Zimbabwe in the 1980s. Which is considered to be the cause of Zimbabwe’s economic ruin.
