It comes at a pivotal moment for the global economy, as the United States moves toward imposing tariffs on virtually all of its trading partners. President Trump is also seeking deeper economic ties with Russia, an adversary that the United States was aligned against in coordination with Western allies until he returned to office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bessent\u2019s decision came after a boycott of a similar meeting this week of foreign ministers in Johannesburg by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Mr. Rubio said he was skipping the gathering because he did not want to \u201cwaste taxpayer money or coddle anti-Americanism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump has indicated that he sees little value in multilateral meetings like the Group of 20 and prefers to hold bilateral negotiations with other nations. The theme for the meetings this year is \u201csolidarity, equality, sustainability,\u201d which the administration considers at odds with its views on climate change and diversity policies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The gathering would have been Mr. Bessent\u2019s first opportunity to meet with his global counterparts and have talks with top financial officials from Europe, China and Russia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mark Sobel, who served at the Treasury Department for nearly four decades, called the decision to skip the meetings a \u201ccolossal mistake.\u201d He noted that such gatherings were an opportunity for the Trump administration to lay out its global priorities and discuss the state of the world economy and central issues such as exchange rates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe Trump administration and Scott Bessent are thumbing their noses at the international economic and financial system,\u201d Mr. Sobel said. \u201cThat will not make America greater or safer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The G20 was created in 1999 after the Asian Financial Crisis as a forum for finance ministers and central bankers to meet and discuss international economic matters and financial stability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The group\u2019s meetings have been awkward in recent years because of tension between Russia and Western allies, including the United States, over the war in Ukraine. But the Trump administration has made clear that it intends to take a different approach with Russia as it looks to negotiate an end to the war.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump suggested this week that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/18\/us\/politics\/trump-russia-putin.html\" title=\"\">Ukraine might have been responsible<\/a> for Russia\u2019s invasion and on Wednesday referred to the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, on social media as a \u201cDictator without Elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The decision by Mr. Bessent not to attend the meetings will come as a disappointment and a surprise to South Africa. An official from its Department of International Relations and Cooperation posted on social media this week that the Treasury secretary was expected to attend the meetings in Cape Town.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A spokeswoman for Mr. Bessent had no comment on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another person familiar with the situation said that Mr. Bessent was in regular contact with his international counterparts and opted to stay in the United States next week to focus on domestic matters. A senior Treasury official will be attending the meetings in his place, the person said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The diplomatic tension between the United States and South Africa emerged as a surprising turn of events this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Earlier this month, Mr. Trump ordered that all <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/07\/us\/politics\/trump-south-africa-aid-white-landowners.html\" title=\"\">foreign assistance to South Africa be halted<\/a> and said his administration would prioritize the resettling of white, \u201cAfrikaner refugees\u201d into the United States because of what he called actions by the country\u2019s government that \u201cracially disfavored landowners.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump\u2019s recent comments were in reference to a policy that President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa signed into law last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Known as the Expropriation Act, the law repeals an apartheid-era policy and allows the government in certain instances to acquire privately held land in the public interest without paying compensation. This can be done only after a justification process subject to judicial review.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
