1. U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that South Africa will not be invited to next year's G20 summit, which the U.S. will host in Florida.
- This decision comes after the U.S. boycotted this year's G20 summit in Johannesburg, chaired by South Africa, due to claims of persecution of its white minority.

2. In response to Trump's announcement, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's office stated that South Africa will continue participating as a full member of the G20.
- The statement also expressed regret over Trump's continued application of punitive measures against South Africa based on what they consider misinformation and distortions about their country.

3. Tensions between the U.S. and South Africa have persisted despite efforts by President Ramaphosa to reset diplomatic relations.
- The White House previously accused South Africa of weaponizing its presidency after the G20 leaders' declaration was adopted without Trump in attendance at this year's summit.
