Active moves by President Donald Trump to exclude South Africa from the G20 gathering in Miami might not rank at the top of recent outrageous actions by the US leader, including his vulgar gesture to an auto worker who heckled him during a plant visit. However, viewed alongside his brattish letter to Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, blaming Norway for his failure to receive the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, it is suggestive of yet more brutishness to come, especially if such bullying continues to be tolerated.
