Trump Weighs Doral Golf Club for G20 Summit Amid Controversy
The White House has not announced the location of the next G20 summit, despite reports suggesting President Trump may host it at his Doral golf club in Miami. Questions about potential conflicts of interest remain following a similar scenario with the 2020 G7 summit, which Trump also reversed due to backlash.
The White House remains undecided on the venue for next year's G20 summit, despite speculation about President Donald Trump's interest in hosting it at his Doral golf club in Miami. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, 'No firm announcement is ready to be made at this time.'
Leavitt dismissed concerns about potential profiteering if the summit is held at Trump's property, saying, 'I would reject that premise entirely.' In 2020, Trump reversed a similar decision to use the Doral club for the G7 summit after facing significant backlash over conflicts of interest.
Recently, Trump blurred the lines between his presidency and business by attending events at his golf resorts in Scotland. Additionally, he has hinted at potentially skipping the G20 summit in South Africa later this year, citing displeasure with the country's policies.
