South Africa is unlikely to try to gatecrash the first G20 meeting under the US G20 presidency this month, though at least one other G20 member thinks it should.
The US sent invitations on Monday to all G20 members except SA to attend the first sherpas’ meeting of the US G20 presidency, which takes place in Washington on 15 and 16 December.
This non-invitation from the US to SA confirmed US President Donald Trump’s announcement last week that he would not invite South Africa to the G20 Leaders’ Summit he will host in Miami in December 2026.
