Russia Backs South Africa After Trump Bars BRICS Ally From Miami G20 Summit | Firstpost Africa

Watch this video as Firstpost explains how Putin comes to Ramaphosa’s defence after Trump’s G20 snub. A major geopolitical rift has erupted as Russia steps in to defend South Africa following US President Donald Trump's decision to bar Pretoria from attending the upcoming G20 Summit in Miami. The dispute stems from an escalating diplomatic fallout, which began when Trump boycotted the Johannesburg G20 Summit after accusing South Africa of targeting white farmers—claims Pretoria vehemently denies. Tensions worsened when South Africa rejected a US demand to perform the official handover ceremony to a US embassy official. In response to Pretoria's exclusion, the Russian Embassy released a stern statement calling the US ban an ‘egregious violation’ and emphasising that the G20 cannot be unilaterally controlled by any single nation. As Washington slaps tariffs and retaliatory measures on South Africa, Moscow is capitalising on the division to strengthen its strategic presence and counter Western influence across the Global South. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
