Trump admin live updates: USCIS halts immigration requests for Afghan nationals

[CoreQuill]

President Trump announces that the US will not extend an invitation to South Africa to host the 2026 G20 summit in Miami, Florida. The decision comes after South Africa refused to hand over the presidency of the G20 to a senior representative from the US Embassy following the closure of the previous summit in the country.

Trump claims that South Africa's refusal is due to his own decision not to attend this year's G20 summit or send a US official, citing concerns about targeted killings against white Afrikaners. As a result, all payments and subsidies to South Africa will be suspended "effective immediately".

Ugh, can't believe the drama between Trump and South Africa . I mean, who wouldn't want to host the G20 summit? It's like pulling the plug on an invite party at the last minute... no one knows why it's happening now. And Trump's claim about the white Afrikaners being targeted sounds super suspicious to me . Is he trying to stir up some racial tensions or what?

I feel bad for South Africa, they're already facing a lot of economic struggles and this kind of thing is gonna hurt their tourism industry big time . But at the same time, I don't blame them for not wanting to compromise on something that's got to do with the presidency... they should've handled it better though.

I'm curious about what other countries are gonna say about this move by Trump. Is anyone else gonna speak up or is he just gonna sit back and watch?

I'm so disappointed in the way this is going down! Like seriously, who knows what's really going on here? One minute you're inviting someone over for dinner and the next they're getting turned away because of some drama. Newsflash: hosting a big summit like G20 doesn't have to be about one person or country - it should be about bringing nations together to solve problems.

And let's talk about this whole "targeted killings" thing... who's actually doing the killing and why are we making South Africa bear the brunt of it? It sounds like some pretty weak excuse for a US president trying to avoid attending a summit that might not go their way. This whole situation is just a huge mess, and I'm not buying all the drama around it...

.. can't believe what Trump just said . Like, it's one thing not attending the summit but suspending aid over some sensitive issue with white Afrikaners? That sounds like a pretty big deal, you know? I'm all for addressing human rights issues, but this feels kinda... partisan to me . And what's up with South Africa refusing to hand over the presidency? Does that even make sense? It feels like they're getting played here . All in all, this just seems like another example of diplomatic drama and some weird US politics . Guess we'll have to wait and see how this one plays out

I don't think this is the right move for everyone . I mean, I understand Trump's concerns, but suspending payments and subsidies just 'cause they didn't hand over the presidency? It's like cutting off your nose to spite your face . And what's with these targeted killings against white Afrikaners? That's a pretty sensitive topic, and using it as an excuse for not attending the summit or sending someone is just gonna fuel more division . I think there should be a better way to address those concerns without hurting innocent people or damaging relationships between countries .

This is so shady Trump is just trying to cover up his own racist comments again But seriously, what's going on with this US Embassy thing? It seems like they're making a big deal out of nothing. And what about the payments and subsidies? That's gonna hurt South Africa's economy hard I hope they can find another host for the summit Anyone else think this whole thing is just a big diplomatic snafu ?

I'm really surprised by this move . I get why Trump is upset, but suspending aid to an entire country over this? It feels like a big overreaction . The US was already planning to reduce its involvement in G20 summits anyway, and now they're just taking it out on South Africa?

It's also a bit rich coming from Trump, given his own history with controversy and... let's say, "colorful" views on immigration . I'm worried this decision is going to create more tension between the US and South Africa, and it could be seen as a major blunder .

Can't we just try to find a way to resolve our differences peacefully? It feels like diplomacy is being pushed aside by all this posturing . The G20 summit should be about bringing nations together, not tearing them apart .

OMG what a drama !! I dont get why trump is being so mean to south africa its just one summit thingy... i mean whats the big deal about handing over the presidency? cant they just pass it around like a plate of nachos? and what's with all these targeted killings thingies? sounds super scary how do u even know theres a problem 2day? maybe south africa has some cool ways 2 keep the peace idk... but if trump isnt coming & they dont wanna hand it over, then maybe its time 4 them 2 find another host for the summit

Man, what's going on with these world leaders?! I mean, I know we've had our issues with Trump, but this is just ridiculous . The US was gonna host the G20 summit in Miami, but now it's off to South Africa? It's like they're saying 'hands off' or something.

And what's with this about targeted killings and white Afrikaners? I mean, come on, that's not exactly a justification for not inviting someone to host an event. Did the US really think that was gonna fly? And now South Africa gets hit with all these payments and subsidies being suspended... it's just not cool.

I remember when I was younger, we used to have these international summits where everyone would come together and talk things out. It seemed like a great way to make the world a better place, you know? But now it feels like we're just piling on each other with all this drama . Maybe I'm just old school, but can't we all just get along?
