Trump says G20 summit next year will be held at his Doral resort near Miami

Trump abandoned a similar effort during his first term to host the Group of Seven at his Doral resort following bipartisan criticism that it could benefit him financially.

President Donald Trump announced Friday that the Group of 20 summit for next year will be held at a resort his family business owns in Florida.

Trump National Doral is "the best location" for the two-day event, the president told reporters in the Oval Office. He added that his family business “will not make any money on it.”

The Trump administration came under scrutiny over similar ethical concerns from both parties this year when the Pentagon said it had accepted a luxury megajet from Qatar as a gift for Trump to use.

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, a Republican, gave brief remarks in the Oval Office after Trump made the announcement Friday and said the summit in December 2026 would be a boon for small business owners “who are going to benefit economically from having the G20 in Miami.”
