Trump announces G20 conference to be held at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami in 2026
So, thank you very much on this, Will. Great job. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. So, we’re going to talk about Florida, the great state of Florida now because it’s going to be a very exciting thing to host the G20. And as we celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary next year, the United States will have the honor of hosting exactly that, the G20 summit right here in America for the first time in nearly uh 20 years. This afternoon, I’m thrilled to announce that the 2026 G20 conference, which will be uh I could read off the countries that we’re talking about, but you know who they are, I think. Does anybody want me to list them specifically? Jennifer, you’re okay. Okay. But we’ll be held in one of our country’s greatest cities, uh, beautiful Miami, Florida, where we have the mayor with us, Mayor Suarez. And I want to thank Francis for being here. He’s I thought he might be uh in this office. You know, he almost got there. It was a couple of us, right? Couple of It’s not as easy as they think, right? It’s not that easy. But uh he’s a amazing guy, very popular and very popular in Florida. Uh the agenda for next year’s summit is being organized by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant who is right here. Hi, Scott. I saw him standing over there. Nice, tall, good-looking guy. But he moved he moved very quickly. Caroline, you did a good job. Does Caroline do a good job, would you say? Is she a star? How do you compare with the last administration’s uh person? No. You don’t want to get into that. Yeah. I think we’re very happy with Caroline, but Scott Besson is talking about a good job. He’s done a fantastic job and we’re very proud of him. He’s very much involved with the G20 and the NEC director Kevin Hasset who’s truly a talented guy. He’s certainly being thought of to go to a different position and we’ll find out about that pretty soon. I don’t know. Would you like to be that? I won’t ask you. That’s I think who wouldn’t want I think it’s the greatest position in the world. You know, you come out, you make a speech, and then you go and go away for 30 days or 40 days, and you come out, make another speech, the market goes up or down depending on what you want to say. I’ve never seen an easier position than that. Unfortunately, you need good instinct. So, we have somebody in there now that doesn’t have them. We call them too late. But it will focus on unleashing economic prosperity by eliminating eliminating the burdensome regulations, unlocking affordable energy and pioneering new technologies, and it’s going to be very important. The United States is already leading by example, and America is the hottest country anywhere on Earth. We have more being built under construction now than they think anybody that they’ve ever seen. I mean, literally, some of these some of these places are just really unbelievable what they’re building. The the size, you know, if you spend $50 million on a shopping center someplace, it’s a big building, pretty big building, but uh when you spend $50 billion on essentially a building, they have buildings going up for 50 billion, they’re going to be building their own electricity. And many of them have been given permits already to go and they’re starting construction. Some have started construction quite a while ago and uh very early in the administration. We let them do that. You know, uh we have a grid that’s obviously an old grid. It’s been around for a long time. We could never handle the kind of numbers that you’re talking about in terms of electricity. And we’re letting them build their own plants. They build their own plants with their structures. So they build their structure, they build their buildings, and they build an electric producing plant with it. uh like Con Edison in New York that I grew up with and like others that make electricity, they make it for New York. These plants will make it for their building for AI. Then you have a lot of the car plants going up. Most of them won’t need that kind of electricity, but they have the right to do that also. So, we’re allowing uh companies to build electric plants. They become essentially Scott, I guess they become utilities, right, if you think about it. And uh it’s very exciting. We’re going to end up with more electricity than China and it’s going to be built at no cost to us. And I’m telling them, build more than you need and you’ll sell it back into the grid. So, they’ll be able to sell it back into the grid on top of everything else at no cost to the American taxpayer. It’s very exciting. And frankly, if we didn’t do that, we wouldn’t be leading with AI. We wouldn’t be probably even doing any AI. It’ be 20 years to get an approval. So, they’re building massive amounts of electricity as we speak. Uh we’ve eliminated $5 trillion worth of federal regulations. Another big thing since I took office and if you remember the first term we took out more regulation than any other president in history times. You could add the top four and they wouldn’t come anywhere close to what we were. That’s one of the reasons we had such economic the most successful four years of any any president economically. And this is blowing it away. I think this will blow it away. When these plants start to even getting close to opening, I think you’re going to see numbers that we’ve not seen before. And we’ve increased oil production by more than 300 barrels a day. That’s a lot. Blueco collar wages are rising at the fastest rate in 60 years. And trillions of dollars of investment is pouring into the USA. It’s going to be over 17 trillion dollars very shortly. And nobody ever thought a thing like that was possible. What made it possible were number one, they were happy with November 5th. They were happy with the election. And number two, the tariffs are uh bringing countries in. I mean, it’s so vital to our country. It’s uh before the courts now, and I hope we’re going to do very well. We had four great opinions just come out, as you know, from judges. Uh in couple of cases, there were Obama appointed judges that felt they had to do what was right for the country. So, I respect that greatly. I respect them for doing it, but we have very strong opinions and uh it’ll end up going to the Supreme Court and uh it’s just vital for the country. Vital. Absolutely. We’re at a level that we’ve never thought we’d be at and it’s because of the tariffs. Countries are pouring into our country because of the you avoid tariffs if you build here. If you don’t build here, you pay a lot of money, but if you build here, so what people are doing is they’re coming in, they’re building here. no different than what other countries have done to us. But we have a big advantage over other countries. We have a market that is that we built up during our four years. That was amazing. We took a commanding lead during that four-year period. So, it’s it’s been it’s a very exciting thing, but I look forward to showing our incredible success to the world when we visit Miami next year. And I’d like to ask Mayor Suarez, truly a highly respected gentleman who’s who’s loved in his city and uh we’re going to we’re going to do a great job. We’re going to work together and do a fantastic job. Mayor, would you say a few words, please? Of course. Thank you, Mr. President. It’s a tremendous honor to be with you here today in the Oval Office to make this historic announcement. Just looking at the sign, which is so beautiful. Good job. Yeah, it’s a great job. Um you know, as you know, Mr. President, you were elected by double digits. You were the first Republican president over 30 years to win Miami date county. And you did it because you followed through on your promises. And in Miami, what we’re doing is we are following through on those promises as well. We’ve kept taxes low. We’ve kept people safe. We’ve leaned into innovation. We’ve grown 150% in the last 10 years. Uh we’ve created one of the most uh intriguing ecosystems in the world. And this decision is not only generationally important for the city, but it puts the city on the map as one of the truly great global cities. So, on behalf of all of the workers of Miami, um those that work in the hospitality industry, I know you own many hospitality assets and properties, um all of the small business owners who are going to benefit economically from having the G20 in Miami. Tremendous, tremendous benefit. It’s going to bring in millions and millions of dollars. We just say thank you. We thank you for believing in us. Uh we thank you for highlighting our city in a time where we have a lowest homeless rate in 11 years. Uh we’re on the precipice of having the lowest homicide rate in history. um and with the lowest taxes. So, um we’re following your America first agenda and we’re creating success in, you know, Miami’s the greatest city in the world, we believe. Thank you, mayor. We’ll see. We’ll see you down there before then, but we’ll see. Scott, would you like to say a few words? Yes, sir. So, we’re excited to have the G20. And what’s important about the G20, President Trump’s America First initiative does not mean America alone. It means America leads. So, we will be holding the G20 in the capital of the world. My Miami next year to showcase the beginning of President Trump’s second term will be the a year and a half into it. We will have done peace deals, tax deals, trade deals. We’ve made the US the best place to come start a business, have tax certainty, energy certainty, and regulatory certainty. And it’s going to be an exciting event. And the the US uh just as the president was saying earlier about the defense department of war uh the US is back on the international stage as a leader. We have whittleled down the G20 back to basics. We are making it work for the American people better than ever. Uh we have uh the G20 had become basically the G 100 this past year. So, it will be a concentrated group in Miami seeing the best America has to offer with American leadership thanks to President Trump. Thank you very much. Great job and a great job you’re doing. Uh Kevin, would you like to say a few words? Sure. You know, uh Mr. President, I think this G20 meeting where the world leaders will come to the great city of Miami is going to be viewed as one of the most important meetings in global history because what’s going to happen is the golden age is going to be documented so well in the data by next summer that you’re going to have one of the best speeches written for you that you’ve ever seen because we’re just going to be talking about the accomplishments of the next year. I think so. A lot of these plants are going to be open by then. Yeah, exactly. And a lot of jobs are coming in like I think we’ve never seen before. It’s going to be great. Monica, would you like to say something? Thank you, Mr. President. We’re so looking forward to having the United States of America host the G20 in Miami in December of next year. And we’re also looking forward to having this as a showcase of American strength, vision, innovation, and power under your bold leadership, Mr. President. It is going to be the G20 in the Trumpian golden age. Okay. Vacuum.
World leaders will join President Donald Trump at the G20 conference in Miami in 2026 at one of his Trump golf clubs.
