AI Summary:
United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said he will skip Group of 20 (G20) talks in South Africa amid an escalating spat between Washington and Pretoria over a controversial land expropriation law. Rubio’s announcement comes days after US President Donald Trump threatened to cut aid to South Africa over its passage of legislation allowing the seizure of land without compensation in certain circumstances. South Africa, which holds the G20 presidency until November 2025, is set to host a meeting of foreign South African President Cyril Ramaphosa accused the administration of “confiscating land” and mistreating “certain classes of people”, prompting a rebuttal from Pretoria. The Democratic Alliance (DA), South Africa’s main opposition party, has opposed the law, warning that it undermines property rights.
