United States (US) President Donald Trump says he may not attend November's G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, citing the country's land expropriation policy and what he called "genocide."

Posting on his Truth Social, Trump slammed land seizures and alleged violence, accusing the media of silence.

Meanwhile, South Africa has hit back, with Department of International Relations and Cooperation's (DIRCO) Chrispin Phiri reaffirming the nation belongs to all who live in it.

Tensions remain at an all-time high, with diplomatic relations between Washington and Pretoria increasingly strained.
