Announces G7 Summit will be held at his own Doral resort

Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney announced that the 2020 G7 summit of world leaders would be held at Trump National Doral Miami, awarding a massive government contract to the President's own struggling property. Trump had spent months promoting Doral for the event. The announcement sparked immediate bipartisan outrage as a brazen violation of the Emoluments Clause and a clear example of self-dealing. Under intense pressure, Trump reversed the decision two days later, blaming 'irrational hostility' from Democrats and the media.

"It's a great place. It's got tremendous acreage... We have a series of ballrooms." — Trump pitching Doral for the G7 at the G7 summit in Biarritz, August 2019
