US President Donald Trump<\/a> said on Friday that the US will host the next Group of 20 summit<\/a> at his Doral golf resort in Florida, calling it \u201cthe best location\u201d for the major international event.<\/p>\n

He noted that his family’s business would not profit from the decision.<\/p>\n

In his first term, Trump tried to host a separate global summit at the club, but backed down after criticism from his own party about the propriety of doing so. Now, though, Trump rarely travels domestically without golfing at or staying in properties bearing his name and has faced very little political blowback, as reported by AP.<\/p>\n

He’s actively promoted his $TRUMP meme coin and even hosted the top 220 investors in it for a swanky dinner in May at his golf property in Virginia. The president made his first foreign trip to Saudi Arabia, after his sons crisscrossed the region drumming up business for the family’s other cryptocurrency ventures. Trump also went to Scotland to inaugurate his new golf course there.<\/p>\n

The G20 is made up of some of the world\u2019s major economies, the European Union and the African Union. Hosting the G20 at Doral would be an especially striking example of using the presidency to enrich his family, but Trump wasted little time defending it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think everybody wants it there,\u201d he said when asked if the global summit would be at his golf club and spa. Trump noted that the conference would be occurring in December 2026, a time of year when hotels in South Florida are often more full, and said that Doral had the space and was ideally suited because of its close proximity to the city\u2019s airport.<\/p>\n

The United States hasn’t hosted a G20 since it was held in Pittsburgh in 2009. The president suggested that organizers had requested the summit be at his property, but didn\u2019t elaborate. He said each delegation from different countries \u201cwill have its own building.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the best location, it\u2019s beautiful, beautiful everything,\u201d Trump said, while adding, \u201cWe will not make any money on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re doing a deal where it\u2019s not going to be money, there\u2019s no money in it. I just want it to go well,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI think it’ll be really a beautiful thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also called Doral \u201cvery, very successful, one of the most successful properties in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miami Mayor Frances Suarez, who attended Friday’s G20 site announcement in the Oval Office, said it \u201cputs us on the global map” but also acknowledged that, for the area, \u201cIt’s a tremendous boom for your economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the president knows,” Suarez added. “He has multiple hospitality assets.\u201d<\/p>\n
