U.S. President Trump announces plans to hold the upcoming G20 summit at his personal Florida golf club, assuring there will be no personal financial gain
The United States will host the Group of 20 (G20) summit next year at President Donald Trump's golf club in Doral, Florida. This marks the first time the US has hosted a G20 summit since it was held in Pittsburgh in 2009.
President Trump argued that Doral is the best location for the high-stakes international gathering. He described Doral as one of the most successful properties in the country. However, Trump did not elaborate on the request from organisers to host the G20 at his property.
Each delegation from different countries will have its own building at the G20 summit in Doral. This decision has raised concerns about the potential for conflicts of interest, as Trump has blurred the line between domestic and global policy and generated profits for the Trump brand in his first term.
Trump asserts that his family's business will not make any money on hosting the summit. In the past, Trump has faced criticism for trying to host a separate global summit at his club. However, since then, he has faced little political blowback.
Miami Mayor Frances Suarez stated that hosting the G20 at Doral will benefit the local economy. Trump's sons have taken over running the Trump Organization while he is in the White House.
The G20 is made up of some of the world's major economies, the European Union, and the African Union. Trump announced that he will not attend this year's G20 in South Africa, but will send Vice President JD Vance in his place.
Trump has promoted a cryptocurrency meme coin and hosted the top 220 investors in it for a dinner at his golf property in Virginia. It remains to be seen how these business ventures will impact the G20 summit in Doral.
The exact date for the 2026 G20 summit, which US President Trump plans to host at his private Doral Golf Club in Florida, has not yet been set. As the date approaches, the world will be watching to see how the event unfolds and whether the concerns about potential conflicts of interest are realised.
