US President Donald Trump said on Friday he would host the 2026 G20 summit at his own golf resort in Miami despite abandoning a similar move in his first term after accusations of corruption.
Billionaire Trump said his Trump National Doral resort and spa was the ideal choice for the gathering in December next year because it was “beautiful” and the Florida weather was nice.
“It’s going to be at Doral,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office after announcing that Miami would be the venue for next year’s summit.
“Everybody wants it there because it’s right next to the airport, it’s the best location, it’s beautiful, a beautiful everything.”
But Trump, who has faced repeated accusations that he and his family have enriched themselves during his two presidencies, insisted he would not profit from the event.
“We will not make any money on it. We’re doing a deal where it’s not going to be money, there’s no money in it. I just want it to go well,” Trump said.
