US Secretary of State Marco Rubio Skips G20 Summit in South Africa Over Land Expropriation Law

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced he will not attend the G20 summit in Johannesburg later this month, citing South Africa's new land-expropriation law as a primary reason. Rubio expressed concern over the law, which has been criticized by President Donald Trump, stating that it promotes "solidarity, equality, & sustainability." He specifically mentioned the law's focus on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and climate change as issues that contribute to his decision to skip the summit.
