JOHANNESBURG, South Africa \u2014 This weekend’s G20 Leaders’ Summit in South Africa was unusual for several reasons. The first summit on the African continent was also the first time the U.S. had boycotted the summit of the world’s largest economies.<\/p>\n

It was also unprecedented in that the group of disparate nations agreed to a declaration at the meeting’s start rather than its conclusion, and that there was no ceremonial handover between the outgoing and incoming G20 chairs.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration boycotted the event after Trump falsely accused the South African government of confiscating white-owned land<\/a> and allowing the killing of white Afrikaners. The U.S. also objected to what it considered the summit’s DEI \u2014 diversity, equity and inclusion \u2014 agenda.<\/p>\n
