Trump Administration Rejects South Africa’s Claim of Last-Minute G20 Reversal

Washington D.C., November 21, 2025:
The Trump administration firmly denied South Africa’s allegation that the United States made a last-minute policy reversal during the recent G20 negotiations. South African officials had claimed that the U.S. shifted its stance on a key resolution shortly before the summit concluded, creating diplomatic friction.

U.S. representatives dismissed the claim as “inaccurate,” asserting that the American position remained consistent throughout the talks. They emphasized that any misunderstanding stemmed from internal miscommunication within the South African delegation. The incident has sparked fresh debate over transparency and coordination among G20 members.
