South Africa Criticizes Trump's G20 Exclusion Remarks

President Cyril Ramaphosa has described a statement from US President Donald Trump as "regrettable." The statement indicated an intention to prevent South Africa from attending next year's G20 Leaders' Summit in the United States. President Ramaphosa said the American leader's comments were based on misinformation. He noted the remarks but did not provide further details about the nature of the alleged false information. The G20 Summit is a major meeting of the world's largest economies. South Africa is the group's only African member.
