Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday that it’s a "total disgrace" the G20, scheduled for Nov. 22 to Nov. 23, will be held in South Africa.
"Afrikaners (People who are descended from Dutch settlers, and also French and German immigrants) are being killed and slaughtered, and their land and farms are being illegally confiscated," the president said.
