Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Wednesday evening he was boycotting the G20 meeting in South Africa scheduled for later this month over the country's controversial land expropriation law.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will not go to the meeting of foreign ministers of the G20 countries, which will be held on February 20-21 in Johannesburg.

Secretary Rubio is skipping the G20 summit at Johannesburg later this month, echoing the sentiment of President Trump and Elon Musk, who have been recently critical of the South African government.
