Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump May Skip G20 in South Africa, Slams Pretoria's Policies
Caption: President Donald Trump says he may skip the G20 summit in South Africa this November, citing what he called "very bad policies" by the country's government. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said, "I think maybe I'll send somebody else." He's criticized South Africa's stance on Israel, after it filed a genocide case against the U.S. ally at the International Court of Justice. Trump also slashed U.S. aid to South Africa in February and repeated discredited claims about white land seizures during a tense meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa in May. Relations remain rocky. Secretary of State Marco Rubio already boycotted a G20 meeting earlier this year. Meanwhile, Ramaphosa continues to defend land reform policies and has urged Trump to attend the summit. Trump's decision could further strain U.S.–South Africa ties during Pretoria's G20 presidency. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
