Pushes hosting 2020 G7 at his Trump Doral resort
At the close of the Biarritz G7 summit, Trump told reporters he was likely to host the next G7 at his own Trump National Doral Miami property, pitching it as the "best" location and saying officials were already looking at it. Steering a major diplomatic summit to his business raised blatant self-dealing and Emoluments concerns; ethics experts warned it would force foreign delegations to spend at his resort. Trump later formalized the plan in October before reversing under backlash.
"They love the location of the hotel. We haven’t found anything that could even come close to competing with it." — G7 Biarritz closing press conference, August 26, 2019
