"If you want to deal with the cost of living and make people better off with good, secure jobs, investment from G20 partners and allies is really important. Those discussions from those relations are measured in real jobs back in the UK that are really important when the economy and the cost of living is the most important thing. The prime minister will attend a business event on Friday before going to the main summit on Saturday."
"Cyril Ramaphosa, the South African president, told the B20 business summit on Thursday: We are sovereign countries. And we need to be treated as equals. Our sovereignty needs to be respected. We need to sit around the table as equals and having the same share of knowledge, the same share of capability, without any bullying the other. Asked about Trump, Starmer said: Obviously President Trump set out his position."
Keir Starmer traveled to South Africa for two days of G20 summit discussions and bilateral talks focused on sustainability and economic growth. He emphasized that investment from G20 partners and allies is important to create secure jobs and address the cost of living. The trip occurs days before a potentially controversial budget and after Donald Trump announced he would not attend. Starmer will attend a business event and multiple bilateral meetings but will not meet Trump. South Africa protested the US absence and defended its sovereignty, with President Cyril Ramaphosa calling for equal treatment and rejection of coercion.
