LIVE: US-South Africa Row Escalates, US to Boycott G20? | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

A diplomatic spat between the United States and South Africa is threatening to undermine global cooperation, particularly within the G20, following controversial land redistribution policy in the African nation. The conflict stems from new South African legislation allowing for the expropriation of land without compensation under certain circumstances, a move that has drawn sharp criticism from US officials and Elon Musk, who has labeled the laws “openly racist.” Tensions escalated this week after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced he would not attend the G20 summit in Johannesburg this month. Musk, who was born in South Africa, has been particularly vocal about his opposition to the land reform policy. He has publicly criticised the legislation and appears to be influencing US policy towards South Africa. Despite a phone call between South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Musk, the billionaire’s stance remains firm, as evidenced by his support for Rubio’s boycott of the G20 meeting. Rubio’s decision has also raised questions about Washington’s commitment to the G20. On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma tells you more.
