President Trump leaves participation in G20 summit in South Africa open

Washington [US], May 22: US President Donald Trump has kept his participation in this year's G20 summit in South Africa open due to political disagreements with the host.
He said on Wednesday it was important for the US to be present at both the Group of Seven (G7) meeting of major industrialized nations and the wider Group of 20 (G20) summit, in response to a reporter's question about whether he would travel to Johannesburg in November.
However, Trump did not give a clear commitment to his participation during the visit by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to the White House. The summit of the 20 leading industrialized and emerging countries is scheduled to take place in November in the South African metropolis of Johannesburg. (DPA)
