The USA refused to participate in the G20 summit

The United States has suspended preparations for the G20 summit, which will take place in November in the Republic of South Africa (RSA).

This is reported by The Washington Post, citing sources in the administration of US President Donald Trump.

"The White House National Security Council has ordered US agencies and departments to suspend work with the G20 conference, which South Africa is scheduled to host this year," the message said.

It is noted that this decision removed uncertainty within the administration, where there were previously disputes about the feasibility of participating in an event requiring long-term interagency coordination and preparation.

Earlier, Trump accused the South African authorities of "genocide of white farmers."

"How can we be expected to go to South Africa for a very important G20 meeting when the main issue is land confiscation and genocide?" the American leader wrote.
