WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump announced he will host next year's G-20 Summit at his golf resort in Doral, Florida ‒ the same property, near Miami, where he tried unsuccessfully to convene world leaders during his first term.
Trump, discussing the summit during remarks in the Oval Office on Sept. 5, pushed back at any suggestion he could profit personally from the event. "Everybody wants it there," he said.
"Locationally it's the best, and we will not make any money on it," Trump said. "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. Each country will have its own building. I think it will be really a beautiful thing."
The president was joined by Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and two top economic officials who will help lead the G-20 preparations and programming, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
"President Trump's 'American First' initiative doesn't mean America alone. It means America leads," Bessent said. "The U.S. is back on the international stage as a leader."
